Why are talking bears not welcome in Moscow? Who are the byrbyrdirshchiks and where do they fly? Why is Soviet wunderwaffle racing along the autobahn to Paris? How do you drive the god of war out of a computer game? Who will repel an alien invasion if it disguises itself as a women’s taxi? What do Germans say about the relationship between the Russian tsar and Hitler? And what’s so terrifying about the Black Lukich if he’s “just” a city legend?
The answers are in Oleg DivoV’s new fantastic stories—funny, kind, sad, “about love,” “about war,” and even “about politics.” They won’t leave anyone indifferent. That’s guaranteed.
Enjoy your reading.
And if you meet the Black Lukich—call the Black Sanitar. Also guaranteed.
