The action of the novel “Yargorod” takes place in the seventies of the last century in the land of miracles and countless treasures – where the Urals borders Western Siberia. Although there are no cities with that name on the Ural-Siberian map, dozens of the same old cities bloom on it, revived to a new life by our party, our people. You never know there were such places, bypassed by history, abandoned by the Russian autocracy to insulting extinction… Loyalty in love and friendship, eternal restlessness in work, insatiability of quest – these are the main motives of the novel by E. Permyak. Writer E. A. Permyak for the novel “Yargorod” was awarded the second prize at the All-Union competition for the best work of fiction about the modern Soviet worker class (for 1972-1974).
