More info

The tragicomic events of the novel take place in the editorial office of one of the central newspapers in Moscow after the Prague Spring. The Kafkaesque fear hovering over the intelligentsia has never been so threatening. This is the central novel about the Soviet intelligentsia during the period of stagnation. One of the main storylines is based on the persecution of the journalist Ivlev for trying to publish the Marquis de Custine's Notes translated by him. De Custine is not a literary character. In 1839 he came to Russia at the invitation of Nicholas I. His book "Russia in 1839" was banned both in tsarist and Soviet times. Love, politics, selflessness are closely intertwined in the relationship of the characters. “Sirotkina sat in empty expectation. Even there is no one to call, to pour out the soul. Everyone has been sleeping for a long time. She was sitting in a spacious armchair at the editor-in-chief's desk... The clock's pendulum was slowly pushing first in one direction, then in the other. Sirotkina grew old in the office, and no one cared. She began pulling drawers out of the table. They contained the telephone directories of the Central Committee, the city committee, the Moscow City Council marked "for official use", as if there were a person in the world who would read them for personal enjoyment. Suddenly her eyes fell on a thick envelope, which she took from the table. Find out what the editor wants to consult with the KGB, she decided immediately. She took out the Marquis de Custine and immediately began to read it, forgetting everything else. She came off when it was about one o'clock. What happened next can only be known by reading the novel. Meet another amazing book by Yuri Druzhnikov: Russian Myths, also published in Liberty. Cover by V. Bakhchanyan
