About the book: year / It’s the second half of the eighties. Perestroika, glasnost, first rock concerts and a light wind of change. Russian journalist Zhenya Krotov, caught in a landslide in 2024, finds himself in the body of the editor-in-chief of a Soviet regional newspaper, and now he has to raise provincial journalism to the all-Union level. Without telegram, Instagram and other “grams”. By the way, about them, it’s also not possible to get drunk out of grief; the country is fighting against drunkenness. And why? If fate gives you a second chance, you have to be a fool not to take advantage of it! Pour soda from the machine, take ice cream in a waffle cone, put on your favorite record (don’t forget to wipe off the dust) - and you’re ready to read.
