Description: The author's preface can be likened to a kind of letter of trust. By offering this letter of trust to the reader, I want to convey that I worked in New York for six and a half years as a correspondent for "Izvestia" and, in that capacity, traveled extensively throughout the United States. In general, these were long years for me, but I wouldn't want to shield myself with them as a protective shield. It's not so important how many years have been lived, but what has been understood. It's up to the reader to judge that.

From the first days in New York, it became clear to me that in this city and in this country, a journalist will never lack for the daily bread of events and sensations. However, to understand this, one doesn't need to cross the ocean - it's enough to unfold almost any morning or evening newspaper. Who doesn't know that America is the world's greatest supplier of sensations?

The author of the book is Stanislav Kondrashov.
