A little story. Attention! This story may offend the feelings of believers! If a believer does not want to be offended, it is better for him not to read this. Two young scientists are transporting equipment from the Naukograd-23 reservation to the Oranienbaum-70 UNK reservation through Orthodox Russia of the near future. On the way, they meet a boy who ran away from a monastery orphanage, but the heroes are forced to return him to his guardians... From the author: The story is quite evil. Some see anti-Semitism in it, but in fact it is directed against any nationalism, both Russian and Jewish. Quotes from Brodsky, Galich, and Strugatsky confirm how far the author is from anti-Semitism.
