The book by the wonderful Russian writer Vil Vladimirovich Lipatov “Village Detective” about the local detective Fyodor Aniskin is an exciting and at the same time kind, a little sad, and sometimes funny story. Subtle lyricism, amazing depth of characters and absolutely inimitable colorful language of the narrative make you read and re-read the book again and again. And the image of Fyodor Aniskin, recreated on the silver screen by the brilliant actor Mikhail Zharov in the film of the same name, is remembered and loved by more than one generation of Russian readers.
