The book “Emigrant Syndrome” immerses the reader in the era of the “Dashing Nineties”. Emigration to Germany, these are the themes of the stories, both tragic and comic. The heroes of the stories are people who survived Gorbachev's Perestroika, which deprived them of their homeland. Those who survived this themselves will recognize themselves; those who have passed this cup will learn a lot of new things about this time.
