About the book: 2017 / Twenty-five years ago, the life of the talented musician and poet Igor Talkov was tragically cut short... The killer was never found and was not punished. Will the “suspended” case be resumed? Who called Talkov on the day of the murder with threats? Why did Malakhov, whose weapon was used to kill the musician, arrive to confess only 10 days later? Did you receive instructions from anyone? Why did he disassemble and throw the revolver into the Moika River if he didn’t fire it? What prevents the alleged murderer, Valery Shlyafman, who fled to Israel, from being brought to justice? And who in general was behind the organizers of the scandal that unfolded in the St. Petersburg Sports Palace? To understand who was hindered by Igor Talkov, who became the voice of the “deceived generation,” you only need to carefully read his diary entries and the memories of people close to him... The book was also published under the title “The Godfather” Igor Talkov's path».
