ILLEGAL USE OF NARCOTIC DRUGS, PSYCHOTROPIC SUBSTANCES, THEIR ANALOGUES CAUSES HARM TO HEALTH; THEIR ILLEGAL TRAFFICKING IS PROHIBITED AND INCURS LIABILITY PROVIDED FOR BY LAW
One of the most direct and uncompromising literary texts about the first stage of the special military operation — without slogans, ideological clichés, or loud declarations.
A collective image of the Russian soldier, revealed through the fates of people who, against all odds, remained faithful to their oath and their country.
A story of first love and youthful idealism — and their collision with the harsh, bloody reality of the leaden age.
Kirill Minin’s debut novel, Volunteerer. Letters Not About Love, is one of the most notable works of contemporary Russian prose about the first year of the special military operation. At its center is a collective portrait of the Russian fighter. Here there are many destinies and twists of life, love lines and everyday anxieties, spiritual ascents and falls into trench darkness. The Russian soldier not only fights the enemy, but also goes through the full range of hardships and deprivations that fall to a person from his own state — and all this does not deprive him of loyalty to his country and military brotherhood, does not prevent him from showing resilience, selflessness, and inner discipline. Russian literature has long been waiting for its Remarques and Célines — and it seems that such an author has appeared.
And the Russian spirit and talent only strengthen the literary power of this text.
