Garshin's collection of stories published in the post-World War II era within a displaced persons camp in Bayreuth.

Following the end of WWII, Russian displaced persons living in refugee camps in Europe overcame immense challenges to establish a remarkable publishing tradition. Despite military censorship and scarce resources, they produced rare and valuable works that provide insight into the resilience of displaced persons.
