The new book by Vladimir Sergeevich Bushin, a popular, fiery critic and publicist known for his uncompromisingness and argumentation, contains his individual articles from periodicals of different years. This time, the target of the writer’s integrity, irony and even sarcasm were his comrades from the patriotic camp: from communists to great power leaders, whose views attract increased attention from all those who are not indifferent to the fate of Russia and its long-suffering peoples. That is why the book was called “Friendly Fire.”
