An old man who has lived his life, after death receives an offer to go back in time, inhabit a teenager and answer two questions: Is it possible to save the USSR? Is this necessary? ALL aphorisms before chapters were invented by the author and attributed to historical figures who in our reality did not say anything like that. From the author: The title is working and can be changed. There is no magic in the novel and there never will be! The book was written for entertainment and a good mood, and not for deep thoughts about the meaning of civilization and the futility of life's thoughts. The action takes place in an alternative world, which means all coincidences with existing personalities, names of cities and streets are completely random. The author has no idea how to govern a state and what a replacement container for ammunition is called. If you suddenly thought that the text contains so-called pianos, then you should read the text in the encyclopedia, and read what this concept means, and do not pester with your own inventions to the author. Well, if you liked what was written, know that this is what everything was started for.
