About This Item

Limited to 1430 copies.


This story by a well-known writer Emily Mindlin (1900-1981), is devoted to an older man who came to look at the Dnieper Hydroelectric Station construction, the largest hydroelectric power station on the Dnieper River.
The station was built in two stages. DniproHES-1 was initially built between 1927-1932 but was destroyed during WWII to make the river harder for the advancing German forces to cross. It was rebuilt between 1944-1950.


Karachay-Balkar is a Turkic language spoken by the Karachays and Balkars who live in the North Caucasus. After the October Revolution, as part of a state campaign of Latinisation of Karachay and Balkar, educators developed a new alphabet based on Latin letters. It was used from 1929 till 1939. The new alphabet based on Cyrillic letters was officially adopted later.

During the war, both peoples were accused of aiding the German invaders and were deported from their permanent residence in one day. A few books published before the war in the Latin alphabet in the Karachai-Balkarian language were destroyed.
