About the book: year / Continuation of the novel “Lubyanka, 23”. From the author: This is the 5th part of my long-running “romance with my own life”. Like the previous four parts, it can have a completely independent meaning and, by its very appearance, it completely refutes the funny, but not without justice, typo that appeared in the previous 4th part, where on page 157 skeptical printing workers changed only one letter, and , instead of the words “your humble servant”, it turned out “your deceased...” <...>...Being at an age that exceeds decency and reasonable limits, I began to understand that more and more new generations are appearing around me, for whom events and years, which I am writing about are not much closer and clearer than the time of some of the Punic Wars between Rome and Carthage. And that means I should, perhaps, pay more attention not only to the entertaining plot and delving into people’s souls, but also to the circumstances of the time and place of action.
