The author did not know that having written his “Vivian Vivianov”, it would be difficult for him to part with it. Some time later, the “prominent underground poet” again saddled the writer and issued a new portion of his thoughts about history, Russia, man and his place in the world. Don’t forget to praise yourself and admire yourself immoderately. He is exactly the same here as in the first book, except that he already feels completely uninhibited, allowing himself a frivolity of thought that was impossible in the first book. Here is one example: “Why does a man grow a beard and mustache, but a woman does not? Still, women’s emancipation has not yet achieved a final victory.”
