“A person with bottom syndrome” is Vitukhnovskaya’s most straightforward statement. Her judgments and aphorisms will probably infuriate many. But when she very harshly criticizes the authorities, writes impartially about the “vatniks”, about Russia, about ordinary people, she obviously means our entire wrong civilization. It’s just that Vitukhnovskaya was born and lives in Russia, which is why she focused her attention on her... The book “A Man with Bottom Syndrome” is annoying, but in an era of widespread unanimity, this is a very useful irritation.
