About book: 
Author: William Kozlov
Name: President of stone island
Original language: Russian
Publication date: 1967 
Language which I read: Ukrainian
Translate: Myroslava Leshenko

My rating: 8/10  
(I recommend to read!)

The main characters of the book the boys Harry, Soroka and Helen - sister of Harry. They are all orphans, because the book describes the postwar years. Peaceful Soviet Union, where there is no war, but in the soul and body of people have terrible memories of the horrors of the forties. Military theme broken in the book, modernity is intertwined with the events of the past: the impregnable island in the middle of a large lake attracts boys. The island is heroic and has mysterious history. Guys interested exploits of their fathers and grandfathers and sacred honor their memory.

P.S.: Bonus. I read "President of stone island" in ukrainian. Catch Ukrainian cover (Sergiy Ostrovyi)
