The first material of the book dates back to 1999, the latest was collected in December, 2010.
“We discussed not only the destiny of Ryhor Baradulin, Belarus’ national poet, but also his native [village] Ushachyna, his mother Akulina Andrejewna, and the closest friends: Vasil Bykaw, Uladzimir Karatkievich, Mikhas Stralcow, Henadz Burawkin, Uladzimir Niakliajew.
Together with this we discussed literature, the mother tongue and the homeland where Mr. Baradulin feels himself a stranger.
