About the book: 2020 / Margarita Simonyan's short prose captures attention with flash stories that instantly revive the whole world, rich, multicolored. And now thick wine is flowing into the glass, the sunflowers going beyond the horizon are blinding, and... Mikhalyurich again invites you into the office. These stories, cinematic to the extreme, convey the very essence of life. And at the same time they are lifted from the ground and, soaring up, transferred from the Sukhumi beaches to the capital's clubs, from the mountain gorges of Abkhazia to the carnivals of Provincetown. And then there are answers to questions asked in a completely different place: why didn’t Uncle Vachik want to move to Russia, and why didn’t Faust want to go to a party at a gay club? Why did the Hero of Russia Orlov turn out to be Kozlov, and Sophocles - Socrates?..The first collection of stories by journalist and media manager Margarita Simonyan. Chief artist T. V. Evseeva. Binding design by Yu. A. Menshikova. In accordance with Federal Law-436 for children over 16 years old.
