About the book: 2015 / “Kostyuchenko’s essays are what can be called instant classics, that standard of journalistic work that goes beyond the boundaries of today’s newspaper and remains forever and documentary evidence, and the evidence of human language." Oleg Kashin “The completeness of the picture that emerges from reading the collection - the same completeness that allows the reader to perceive what is happening to the heroes of the essays not as propaganda, but as a large-scale documentary film about the current relations between the state and society - is achieved precisely due to Kostyuchenko’s ability to constantly change the point of view and shooting angle" Linor Goralik
