About the book: 2008 / The author is known for many scientific and journalistic works on various topics and in various countries. In this book, the author, in his usual aggressively sarcastic manner, exposes the myths about the revival of Russia, arguing that the country continues to follow the wrong path, driving itself more and more into a strategic trap. This is largely due to the general incompetence of the Kremlin’s “sky-dreamers”, who are unaware of neither international nor domestic realities. True, it goes to both the right-wing forces, mired in “dollargasm,” and the left, relying on “if-ism.” The common leitmotif of all articles: capitalism is destroying the Russian people. The task of the people is to destroy capitalism. The book is intended for all those who are interested in the world and Russia.
