World Record

In the early 2000s, a conflict is brewing in the central part of Russia that could spill beyond the country’s borders. Tatarstan officially ends ties with Moscow, drawing the attention of UN observers and supporting NATO forces. The opposing sides are drawn into a struggle, using strategic technologies, economic pressure, and manipulations through the media to control public opinion. However, there is another, less visible force—one that, to a large extent, determines the outcome of events. The novel «World» is the first published work by Shamil Idiatullin, twice awarded the «Big Book» prize. The book was first published in 2004.
