This book is not quite ordinary. It consists of my novel “Leave Can’t Stay” and a “virtual” part, which is posted on the Internet in the form of a blog written by one of the characters in the novel. A blog is a keyhole into the past through which you can peek at well-hidden secrets. He helps private detective Alexei Kisanov restore the events of distant days, but not only: he reveals the character of both the blogger himself and several of his former classmates. The idea of writing a novel that includes a virtual part was prompted by my love for playing with multiple realities, which I discovered it while working on my dissertation on “Eugene Onegin” (and other works of Pushkin). And I couldn’t resist the opportunity to play it! The world of fiction, which is fiction, echoes the world of the virtual in its fantasy essence, in the possibilities of mystification, and the temptation to collide these two worlds in one work was very great. As a result, the virtual becomes part of the novel, where the blog is written by a character in the novel, and comments are left by the most real visitors, who thereby unwittingly become part of the novel! At the same time, this game allowed me to separate two worlds that are polar in spirit and worldview, giving each its own form and its own space. For the “role” of the character leading the virtual diary, I invited Oleg Khrustalev, a journalist from Nizhny Novgorod. He courageously took upon himself the task of creating in detail the unsavory character of the blogger and telling the unsavory story on his behalf. Oleg played this role with great skill, for which I express my gratitude to him! The blog address is indicated as the plot develops. For those who do not have access to the Internet, a printout from the blog (without visitors' comments) is given in the Appendix to the novel. (Be careful not to peek ahead of time!) As with any blog “hanging” on the Internet, any visitor can leave comments there.
