Ksenia Dragunskaya “Bell-fancier—Buckle-fancier” is a very Moscow, cozy novella by the well-known writer and screenwriter. The characters of this work were once young romantic dreamers. In the 1980s, they studied in the same school, lived as neighbors, and hung out in one shared group. Some of them were hippies, some wrote poems, and some dreamed of making real talented films. But time is merciless—everything changes. People stop loving, break up, and forget their dreams. And even Moscow—where the heroes’ lives flowed through alleys and lanes like veins of a living organism—loses its former look…. Ksenia Dragunskaya is a Russian playwright, screenwriter, and art scholar. Her texts are stories infused with sincerity, romance, and subtle humor.
