It is winter. It is cold and it is snowing. We are in the living room. We are looking at the snow through the window.

"Let's go and play in the snow," says Pinky.

"No, it is too cold," says Blackie. "We can put on our warm coats and boots," says Pinky.

"I can't run in my boots. They are too big," says Blackie and he looks at me.

"I can't run in my coat. It is too long," I say and I look at Blackie. It is so warm in the living room and so cold in the garden.

"I see," says Pinky. "Don't run. Stand and look at me. My clothes are nice. I can run in my boots and my coat."

"We can look at you through the window," say Blackie and I.

"OK," says Pinky. "Don't go. Sit down on the sofa and look at me through the window."

So Pinky puts on her warm clothes and boots and goes out. She runs in the snow and she makes a snowman. She jumps in the snow and dances in the snow. She makes a snowball and throws it at her snowman.

We are sitting on the sofa and looking at Pinky. Then I stand up, take my warm coat and boots and put them on.

"Blackie," I say. "Put on your warm clothes, and let's go out. It is fun in the snow."

"It is too cold," says Blackie. "I don't want."

So I go to Pinky. We run in the snow and we make two snowmen. We jump and dance in the snow. We make snow-balls and throw them at our snowmen. We are having fun!

Suddenly we see Blackie. He is standing in the garden.

"Look, my boots are not too big," he says. "I think, I can run. Let's play together."

Now we play together and we are very happy.

История русской литературы второй половины XX века. Том II. 1953–1993. В авторской редакции

Во второй половине ХХ века русская литература шла своим драматическим путём, преодолевая жесткий идеологический контроль цензуры и партийных структур. В 1953 году писательские организации начали подготовку ко II съезду Союза писателей СССР, в газетах и журналах публиковались установочные статьи о социалистическом реализме, о положительном герое, о роли писателей в строительстве нового процветающего общества. Накануне съезда М. Шолохов представил 126 страниц романа «Поднятая целина» Д. Шепилову, который счёл, что «главы густо насыщены натуралистическими сценами и даже явно эротическими моментами», и сообщил об этом Хрущёву. Отправив главы на доработку, два партийных чиновника по-своему решили творческий вопрос. II съезд советских писателей (1954) проходил под строгим контролем сотрудников ЦК КПСС, лишь однажды прозвучала яркая речь М.А. Шолохова. По указанию высших ревнителей чистоты идеологии с критикой М. Шолохова выступил Ф. Гладков, вслед за ним – прозападные либералы. В тот период бушевала полемика вокруг романов В. Гроссмана «Жизнь и судьба», Б. Пастернака «Доктор Живаго», В. Дудинцева «Не хлебом единым», произведений А. Солженицына, развернулись дискуссии между журналами «Новый мир» и «Октябрь», а затем между журналами «Молодая гвардия» и «Новый мир». Итогом стала добровольная отставка Л. Соболева, председателя Союза писателей России, написавшего в президиум ЦК КПСС о том, что он не в силах победить антирусскую группу писателей: «Эта возня живо напоминает давние рапповские времена, когда искусство «организовать собрание», «подготовить выборы», «провести резолюцию» было доведено до совершенства, включительно до тщательного распределения ролей: кому, когда, где и о чём именно говорить. Противопоставить современным мастерам закулисной борьбы мы ничего не можем. У нас нет ни опыта, ни испытанных ораторов, и войско наше рассеяно по всему простору России, его не соберешь ни в Переделкине, ни в Малеевке для разработки «сценария» съезда, плановой таблицы и раздачи заданий» (Источник. 1998. № 3. С. 104). А со страниц журналов и книг к читателям приходили прекрасные произведения русских писателей, таких как Михаил Шолохов, Анна Ахматова, Борис Пастернак (сборники стихов), Александр Твардовский, Евгений Носов, Константин Воробьёв, Василий Белов, Виктор Астафьев, Аркадий Савеличев, Владимир Личутин, Николай Рубцов, Николай Тряпкин, Владимир Соколов, Юрий Кузнецов…Издание включает обзоры литературы нескольких десятилетий, литературные портреты.
