About the book: year / This story describes the events of the turbulent dashing nineties of the last century. These were the difficult years of perestroika, the time of the formation of market relations in the economy and between people in our country. This book is a real brief encyclopedia of that dashing era, shown through the life stories of thirty-seven people. Of these, for twenty-seven people, the complex, contradictory path on earth developed in such a way that their souls, even during their lifetime, were punished in the afterlife in proportion to their sinful deeds on earth. And the place of God’s original soul, saturated with sin, was taken by a black essence, a gift from the devil. And their business life, devoid of morality and morality at the same time, became very successful. It’s not for nothing that they say about such people “a soulless person” or “he has no soul” or “the devil has possessed him.” And everywhere in the afterlife, sinful souls begged Lada to tell their families and loved ones on earth about their hard life, so that they would do good deeds in the name of easing their lot. But the cruel market reality of the soulless and spiritless earthly world roughly destroyed her naive illusions. Everywhere Lada met the dull indifference of earthly people to the fate of her soul or the soul of a loved one in the afterlife. For modern man basically lives only to satisfy the desires of his body, and not of his soul. He cares about his body, but not about his soul. Lada realized that she could not convey to modern people the great truth that all the religions of the world talk about. Namely, that hell is a cruel reality, that heaven is a sweet reality.
