In the year, in the newspaper Leninsky Sparks, the story “Funny June and Boring”, written by Viktor Konay and Eduard Shim, was released.

This unpretentious story tells of summer boyish concerns in the provincial town of Osmino. Viktor Konetskoy’s profession has a profession of a military hem-healing sailor, Eduard Shim, an artist-contributor, and he is “a gardener, a reducer, a turner, and a locksmith”-everyone had to learn in the post-war hungry years. In the same year, the comrades went to Siberia: moving from one taiga construction to another, they collected material for future books.

He wrote one of the first stories. This story never reprinted. Weak and too fatal and sentimental even for a beginner.

Then I tormented him, then somewhere. He ran away from a communal apartment and rented a room in Strelna with his friend Eduard Shim. They rented housing from the Pole Adam Adamovich. He had a rather solid house with a garden near the seaside and the duct that crosses Strelna and flows into the Marques Puddle ... ”At that time is inaccessible to young writers, they supported each other and thought first of all about how to write a good story or a story.

ShIM, speaking at the Central House of Artists at the Plenum of the Moscow Writing Organization in the m year. I'm not talking about poetry and children's literature. And we had some kind of trifling controversy about Viktor Konetskoy’s work, but there was no serious analysis. Important accents are shifted from such an non-monetary, inattentive attitude, incorrect ideas about young people arise ...

Once, says Boris Sergenkov, Vitaly Valentinovich Bianchi read his story - “About the communism of animals”. Everyone liked this story except Edward ...
