The famous novel by the famous contemporary writer Ivan Shevtsov, “Aphids,” after its first publication, produced the effect of an exploding atomic bomb in Soviet society. Critics condemned the novel, but time has shown that the author was deeply right. He looked far ahead, and was the first to talk about how human aphids are eating away at Russia, and told what this could lead to. We witnessed how all the fears of the visionary writer came true. The aphid devoured the great power with all its giblets.
