Lenin and Koschey the Immortal - what would seem to be common between them? One is from an old Russian fairy tale, the other is from new Russian history. One was defeated by Ivan the Fool, the other himself defeated several million such Ivans. But while both of them lie on top of the ground in their crystal coffins, neither the tradesman nor the oligarch will sleep peacefully. Because everyone cares about Lenin and Koshchei - everyone wants to know where their death is and what it is like to have their power... The new novel by Booker laureate Alex Tarn “Steal Lenin” is full of sparkling humor and lively imagination. Here is the Israeli conspiracy, and the years-tested friendship of former classmates, and gothic teenagers who are ready to do anything to sleep next to a real dead man... Never before has a writer looked at Russian history so soberly and cheerfully!
