What interests those who are not yet twenty? Those who study at the institute and are sure that they should not bend to the changing world? Of course, love. But only without prejudice. Of course, politics. But not with lies and with handshakes with people who sincerely care about democracy. And, of course, God. But in such a way that everything would be permitted and with applause. The heroes of the novel live today in today's Russia. "Freedom... mother of them. Now, wait, we will also legalize prostitutes, drugs, same-sex marriage, marriage from the age of ten, so as not to infringe on the rights of pedophiles, we will allow polygamy, the carrying of firearms... What is not allowed here yet? Cooks already rule the state ... Everything is fine. The reforms continue. Will there be more? And, most importantly, we will live to see it!”
