Description

The boundaries of what is permitted and what is not… New forms of economic crime… A phantom world swirling around “raspberries” and “mills”… Cooperatives—are they nests of fattening NEPmen, or perhaps one of the levers for lifting the economy? Has a wave of crime swept over the country? All these problems lie at the heart of V. Bezymyanniy’s book, "The Riddle of the Aqualing". The traditional detective heroes—the criminal investigation workers—face a new reality: the scum that formed amid the wave of democratization and the nationalization-free restructuring of the economy.
"When Boris Frishman decided to set up a cooperative, he thought he could accumulate some capital. Instead, he got a permanent headache, fear that made him sweat cold, and everyday fatigue. Even the name of the cooperative—‘Saturn,’ invented by the lawyer preparing documents for the executive committee—began to irritate Frishman, although until recently such little things had completely not concerned him."
