One of Alexandra Marinina’s most unusual novels. While preparing to write it, the author organized focus groups made up of young people who had never lived in the USSR. The goal: to understand how they would behave in a given situation if it were the 1970s.
Imagine that you have found yourself in the USSR. The good old seventies: stability and peace, free education, a canteen lunch for one ruble, ice cream for 19 kopecks… A dream!? Well, the Quest will show…
The organizers selected several young men and women to take part in a very unusual experiment—a journey into the 1970s. In the house where the volunteers are to live, everyday life of the era of “developed socialism” has been fully recreated. They read Maxim Gorky’s plays, eat Soviet food, wear Soviet clothes, and languish from boredom at “Komsomol meetings,” deprived of their smartphones and other gadgets.
At first glance, just an amusing adventure. But what was all this devised for? And how will it ultimately end for each of them?
