“True material (information) produced by the foreign agent Bykov Dmitry Lvovich, held in the Register of foreign mass media information outlets performing the functions of a foreign agent 03.06.2022. Dmitry Bykov is a prose writer, poet, publicist, and radio and TV journalist. His lectures from the series “Direct Speech” are a huge success. The author of many novels and original literary biographies of Boris Pasternak, Bulat Okudzhava, Maxim Gorky, Vladimir Mayakovsky. Twice the laureate of the “Big Book” prize. In future Russia, fenced off from the whole world, an endless war is underway between the conquerors—the Khazars and the Varangians. Worst of all in this war is the lot of the native population. Lazy, quiet, and obedient, yet they are the carriers of the secret truth. History goes in circles: totalitarianism, thaw, stagnation, revolution, totalitarianism, thaw… And salvation, according to legend, will be brought by an infant—the son of a Varangian and a priestess. Anti-utopia. Satire. A large-scale parody. An encyclopedia of Russian life. An alternative history. A fantastical fairy tale for adults. The most politically incorrect novel… All of this is “ZhD” by Dmitry Bykov.
