The collection of stories “My Favorite Oligarch” by Galina Golicyna is part of a larger cycle of works “Signs of the Time.” The stories are short, but together they form a kind of saga about the era of the rise, formation, and turbulent intraspecies struggle of the oligarchic stratum (including the service staff) in our reality. The lot of an oligarch is neither easy nor safe, dangerous and ungrateful. You won’t even have time to blink—this whole bustle eats up days, months, and years. And who stays close? There’s not even time to pay attention to that. And do they stay close at all, if the oligarch himself has already turned from a real person, homo sapiens, into a symbol—at best, visible on television.
