Summary:
"This book is written in tribute to my mother-in-law, Valentina Valerianovna Lyovina, with whom I lived under the same roof for a period of some ten years beginning in 1968. Her stories inspired me to share her life's adventures with like minded people. Valentina related the central events of her life to me during the ten-year interval...I collected and collated the historical facts before I started writing her biography. I also interviewed the living relatives of Valentina to check their versions of her story..." -- Foreword.
