"5 years among Jews and foreign ministers"

I planned a book about my stay in Israel back there, in Tel Aviv. This book is not an entertaining read. There are practically no juicy stories in it, which so often adorn memoir literature. And what is in it?

There is a modern Israel in it, as I saw it and as I understood it.

It touches on the history and specifics of the Jewish state, tells about Zionism and anti-Semitism.

It shows the life of an ordinary Russian embassy in a very unusual country.

And finally, its author is present in it.
