This novel covers the entire twentieth century. Here are the adventures of a typical “Soviet” boy, and sex, and friendship, and love, and war: “that” war, it turns out, has not gone away, has not been forgotten, has not ceased to change us today. The brutal memories of the main character are constantly replaced by the merciless reflection of his “egg-headed” alter ego. Meetings with very different people - a retired SS man, an employee of the Kharkov Cheka, the sister (and prototype of Lolita?..) of Vladimir Nabokov... The story of one, no, two, no, even three crimes. So what is it? Novel? Memories? The devil knows...Contains obscene language. The author's spelling has been preserved.
