She – «Homo Soveticus» – called him – «the Sugar of the Earth».He – «American Hero» – called her – «My Russian Princess».Once upon a time – in the end of 80th – they met in Trans-Siberian Express and long after, their love in 4thD– space – in letters – was careless and smileful, naughty and poetic.But she worked on secret armament factory and knew – she may be arrested for her letters `from-behind ` The Iron Curtain. One day she fell in silence. For a long. He`s in despair. He`s going to CCCP to «save her from KGB».Has he saved her? – Read on this book.Эти письма были написаны двадцать лет назад простой советской девушкой, юность которой пришлась на перестройку. Она писала их своему другу из Канады, который сохранил все её послания. Их встреча была случайной и мимолетной, но романтическая переписка длилась целую вечность.Она рассказывала ему о себе, о стране, о друзьях, о курьезах из детства, из жизни, словно старалась удержать в памяти тот мир, которого уже не будет.В этих живых, искренних посланиях, полных смеха и печали, читается боль утраты веры, сломанной эпохой гласности, и потерянность перед миром, привычные очертания которого распадались на её глазах.В них словно снят точный слепок с души типичного «хомо советикуса» – уходящей в небытие натуры, – вопросы, мучившие её, задавали себе в те годы многие – где искать опору духу, мятущемуся в тоске по искаженной реальности времени.

The Emergence of a Hero is dedicated to the history of Russian emotional culture of the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries - the epoch when the court Masonic lodges and literature were competing for the monopoly on the 'symbolic images of feeling' that an educated and Europeanised Russian was supposed to interiorize and reproduce. The case study in the centre of the study is the story of the life and death of Andrei Turgenev (1781-1803), the author of a confessional diary, a gifted poet, and an early Russian Romantic who failed to live up to the principles and models he cherished. Brought up on the patterns of emotions he found in works of Rousseau, Sterne, and the authors of Sturm and Drang, he soon found them too narrow for his individuality, and navigated towards a more mature nineteenth century Romanticism, but was not able to make this transition. Turgenev experimented not so much in his literary work as in his life. The reconstruction of this convoluted and enigmatic case is based on archival research and innovative analysis of individual emotional experience.
