Commercial Break is the second book in the Present Past series. The stories of Artyom Bocharov are the testimony of an eyewitness, observant, ironic, strong - and at the same time a very kind person, capable of discerning behind the small everyday realities the beauty that makes life worth living. The author preserves for posterity the unique features of the Soviet era, dear and close (and sometimes vice versa!) for those who were “made in the USSR.” What is the present past? Each reader has his own answer to this difficult question. Perhaps this is exactly what Artyom writes about - just life as it is, with all its joys and sorrows. The era that ended before our eyes is already becoming a legend... You can only remember the bad, you can only remember the good. Everyone has their own choice. The choice of Artyom Bocharov is good, strong, truly masculine prose of a man who has seen a lot - and at the same time has not lost his optimism and sense of humor. Needless to say – Magadan hardening! For the widest range of readers.
