About the book: 2017 / Our contemporary goes back to the past in order to change the future. The date March 20, 1935 appeared in my mind by itself, and I didn’t even have time to fully understand the choice before I blurted it out to my interlocutor. Although the choice of the Stalin era could rather be called thoughtful than random. Going somewhere further down the timeline would be much more reckless. A completely unfamiliar life, different people, different relationships, even a different language. I would hang out in the hole as a stranger for at least 10 years before I get comfortable.
