"Namedni. Our era. 1961-1970." (Edition 2022). 
Russian: “Намедни. Наша эра. 1961-1970”

This book tells the story of a crucial decade in the history of the Soviet Union, the period from 1961 to 1970. The Thaw, the Cuban Missile Crisis, the first flight into space, the Prague Spring - all these phenomena are presented in the book as equal parts of a huge mosaic consisting of political events, fashion novelties, idols, hobbies of the time.
When did we start celebrating New Year's Eve by watching the TV show "Goluboy ogonek"? Since when do we go to the country house at the weekend? Why did wedding palaces come into being? What kind of alcoholic drinks did desperate men drink? 
Many of the everyday habits and political trends that are still present in our lives today originated back then. Talking about the past, Parfyonov never forgets about the present.
