Description

A young intellectual of the mid-1990s tries to find his place in a world hostile to him, using, like many around him, forbidden means. The novella by the well-known Soviet Russian poet, dissident-writer, journalist, and public figure—member of the Public Chamber of the Russian Federation, laureate of many All-Russian literary awards of Leonid Ivanovich Borodin (1938–2011)—written not without influence from Dostoevsky’s traditions, is devoted to the problem of freedom, which threatens to turn into egoism, arbitrariness, and cruelty.
