Description

The book begins with an address to readers by Patriarch Alexy of Moscow and All Russia, which concludes with the following lines: "May this book of memoirs about Governor Anatoly Petrovich Guzhvin be an example for all Astrakhan residents in the matter of worthy service to the Fatherland and to our people." The book opens with Anatoly Guzhvin's own article, "The Happiness of Living and Working on One's Native Land." This edition introduces the reader to articles by Yekaterina Ivanovna Guzhvina, "Your Son Is a Humane Man, Yekaterina Ivanovna"; Nadezhda Guzhvina, "I'm Still Waiting for Him. As Yesterday. As Always…"; Elena Guzhvina, "Beside Him We Felt Joy and Happiness"; Pyotr Guzhvin, "We Dreamed of the Time When Our Father Would Raise His Grandchildren"; Alexander Zhilkin, "He Sat Down Beside Me and Quietly Asked: 'Listen, Where Was I These Past Eighteen Months?'"; and others. The authors of the collected articles speak of the Governor's many services. But perhaps his chief service is noted by the collection's compiler, Yuri Nikitin, in his article "In Eternity He Has Taken a Place Alongside Tatishchev": "Time has shown that Anatoly Petrovich entered history and settled there firmly, alongside such outstanding governors as Tatishchev, Timiryazev, Volynsky… By his own life he showed us that power does not always, and not necessarily, corrupt a person. To his last day, Governor Guzhvin remained a man of conscience and generosity."
