In a recent letter to the newspaper Vechernyaya Moskva, carping Reader Vladimir Savochkin demanded more TV sets, more and better programs, spare parts for fans who are building their own sets...
...wrote his book. It contains many of the faults its author saw in his first draft, which "like the country of its origin, was criss-crossed by precipitous gullies interspersed with tangled thickets and bogs."
