About the book: 2017 / The book of the famous author Sergei Bogachev “Donetsk Tales" is based on two works united by one theme, which can be designated as “Ukraine and the events of recent years " “The Gas Contract” is a detective story in which there are so many seemingly familiar figures who are “cheating” the nation out of money. So, perhaps, this is where all the nuances of gas transactions, through which individual political figures vying for power in the country have enriched themselves, are explained? On this path, they were awaited not only by the triumph of unjust acquisition through criminal corruption schemes of gas theft in Russia and Ukraine, but also by theft and murder. The story “The Road Home” contains pages of the cruel reality of the war in Donbass. The main character of the works is Ivan Cherepanov, a television journalist from the city of Lugan. Every time in a difficult situation, he is faced with a choice: fight corruption or step aside, help people, risking his life, or save himself? And he is also concerned with the question: who is to blame for everything that is happening? “If you want, everything can be hidden, but with an even greater desire, everything can be found out - success depends on the size of the resource. Intelligence and counterintelligence cannot live without each other,” the author is confident. And he also knows: loyalty is impossible without betrayal, recovery is impossible without illness, and democracy is impossible without... dictatorship.
