Today Mikhail Veller is among the best-known and most published writers in Russia. An original philosopher, a brilliant short-story writer, a harsh and ironic satirist—he surprises his many readers.

Probably, these stories paved the way for the humor found in his famous “Legends of Nevsky Prospekt.”
