The stories and novella by Khabarovsk writer A. Gremenýkov cover the period from 1982 to 1997. They are sharp in plot, humorous, and sad. The characters are the most diverse, from drifters and thieves to sailors who start a business and “new Russians.” There is a lot of humor, exoticism, and adventure—reflecting our present time and the attempts of a former Soviet person to survive in it.
The main character of the whole book is an amazing Russian character, and it is to this that the narrative is dedicated.
