A new book by Maxim Kononenko, known throughout the Russian Internet as Mr. Parker, the famous publicist and TV presenter, only at first glance resembles a dystopia. This is a political pamphlet about which Dmitry Bykov said this: “If it seems ignoble to someone to read and write such books today, you can postpone this pleasure for fifteen to twenty years. If the oil does not run out first, and if our defenders of freedom do not ban this book as extremist in 2017. It’s a pity, of course, that the Fatherland has not yet become tired of this alternation of excellent students and guardsmen, but as long as it leads to interesting artistic results, we will endure.”
