About the book: 2020 / "Chronicle of the times of unreasonable socialism" - the author defined the genre of two books "Anthill Russia". The books tell about the life of provincial Russia. Even the Moscow chapters are primarily about limiters, who never took root in Moscow. A hostel, a barracks, a train station, a moving railway carriage, a diner - not only a background, a scene of action, but also meaning-forming metaphors for an unreasonably arranged life. There are dozens, if not hundreds of characters in the books, and each has its own character, its own personality. The two parts of the chronicle – “The Hostel” and “The River” – are two semantic centers: the philistine swamp and the movement of life in spite of everything. Contains obscene language.
