"Alexander Nikonov's book, despite the abundance of necessary "swear words", is as pure as a baby's tear. The sexual hunger of its young heroes is seasoned with stunning self-irony. They are not aggressive, they are honest in their actions and meanings. They play their "games" in their closed environment and do not force others to play by their rules. And, despite the fact that A. Nikonov’s book is ninety percent “about this,” it is completely devoid of any kind of pornography. The rest is a matter of taste. and the presence or absence of Hypocrisy - our most vile heritage. And if we begin to persecute writers for “our” worldview, then this will be the first step towards the fires in which the books of Boccaccio, Rabelais, Swift, Goethe and, who knows, will burn. Alexander Sergeevich Pushkin himself." Arkady Arkanov
