Distant and mysterious Australia is a mecca for immigrants from around the world. A huge continent in the southern hemisphere, bordering the Indian and Pacific Oceans contains inexhaustible minerals almost the entire Mendeleev' periodic table, has a very clean environment, and a variety of rare flora and fauna, the endless sandy beaches of the entire coastline, unique coral reefs and a favorable climate for humans like eternal summer. 24 years ago I came down the ladder of the aircraft in Sydney and immediately felt in love with this country and its multinational people. During this time I have met many interesting people who became heroes of my stories, however, with changed names. All these years, I have watched with great interest the life in Russia, came to my homeland several times and I have been often provoked by the events that occurred there. This is also reflected in this book in several stories, such as "Moscow Corrupted" In retirement, I got interested in the secrets of aging (see my essay, placed in the book) and many other things that hope will be interesting and informative for you.
