"The Spinning of the Dial" is a short story by young author Nestan Kvinikadze which is included in her collection "Herself". A total
crisis prevailed in the country at the time of the civil and Abkhaz wars, with tens of thousands of people left homeless. A large part of the population began to drain from the country. A
new wave of emigration brought new problems: telecommunication, the civilized means of which were completely destroyed, was a necessity. At that time, several pseudopost offices appeared in
the capital where the population could call abroad illegally. The plot of "The Spinning of the Dial" takes place in just one such post office. The hero of the story is a teenage girl in
