Thread: Novel "Град обреченный"

I understand... tnx to all.

So then ..i assume that this is only in the title because book is written in 70's.
Not long ago i received a comment when i used a word тотчас in writing, that is outdated. It's hard with those words for a non Russian speaker. I'm pretty sure that i read тотчас on some Russian online news site few weeks ago.

The name originates from an artwork by Nicholas Roerich which "astonished [the authors] a while ago with its gloomy beauty and the feeling of hopelessness radiating from it."
