It has been 4 weeks into the book project.

Bing, bing, bing!

Thank you all very very much for your support and enthusiasm! It has been a very interesting and sometimes unpredictable experience. Often, I got neither help nor interest from people whom I expected to be passionate project supporters. And in many  cases I received tremendous attention, support and involvement from totally unexpected people. Thank you very very much!

There was some media exposure last month:
* Article about my book and Inkshares on FinBuzz (in Russian) http://finbuzz.ru/sergej-grechishkin-vspomnil-sovetskoe-detstvo/
*  My article about loving and hating Soviet childhood on Republic.ru (In Russian) https://republic.ru/posts/80271

Also, I was approached by 3 Russian publishing houses, who would be interested in Russian translation and publication. This is early, but nice to know!

Today we already have 555 copies pre-ordered out of 750 target (so 195 still left to go). Now I believe that it can really happen !!!
 
Could you please think about your friends or connections who may be interested in pre-ordering another copy and share it with them!

Thank you again and have a great weekend!

!!! 250 book ordered in 2 weeks !!!

This is just huge! Can you believe that? It is something terrific, folks! That is tremendous!

But just 250 is for losers. Weak. Lightweights. (Sad.) Now we need to get to 750! Believe me. You’ll never get bored with winning. You’ll never get bored! The next 2.5 months are going to be so amazing! You will love it! It’s gonna be huge!

But seriously, people - Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you to everyone, who supported. And special thank you to those, who ordered 10,5,4 or 3 copies! Please help me with the next part of the journey! Please send info to others, who may be interested!

Yey! Have a great weekend!

Cheers 

Sergey

Thank you all very much for your interest, attention, orders and suggestions.

I’ve removed the few original chapters that were online and replaced them with a collection of different bits form the book. It would be fantastic if you could check them and comment.

Have a great weekend!

Cheers

Sergey
