...There is no more crime and poverty in this country. Its capital is the safest city in the world. Here they don’t throw cigarette butts past the trash can, they wash the sidewalks with soap, and the Delivery Service delivers drunks home. The Moscow air is impeccably clean, everyone has a job, a dollar is worth sixty kopecks. In just five to seven years, the Slavic Union built an “economic miracle”, achieving real prosperity. Ask anyone here if they are happy and the answer will be yes! They will answer honestly. And all that was needed for happiness was to figure out who exactly was preventing us from living like human beings. Who is the true enemy of the people...

After the January coup of 2001, the “Government of People's Trust” came to power in Russia, which, with the full support of the residents of the state and the Social Security Agency, was able to build a prosperous economic community in 7 years - “ Slavic Union". Order in the country is established by sheriffs - culls from the ASB, who have the right to punish without trial all “outcasts” of society. What had Russia become under the new regime by 2007?

They sometimes fight because of this book. Fierce debate has been going on for seven years: what is “The Culling” - a bright dystopia or a terrible utopia? Is it comfortable to live in Russia, where “good with fists” has won? In Russia, where no one is hungry anymore, no one is humiliated, street crime has been reduced to zero, the oligarchs are in prison, the ruble is worth more than the dollar. But what will you say if one day the culling knocks on your door?.. This rather simple text from 1999 is generally recognized as the most terrible novel by Oleg Divov.
