“Take care of yourself, be careful...” - these words from Viktor Tsoi’s song perfectly characterize the actions and deeds of absolutely all the characters in the novel. Are we living in the best of all possible worlds? Or, as usual, are we mistaken? Who knows?.. But I think you and I are much luckier than people whose lives are completely subordinated to a game imposed by someone from above. Its rules are simple, and the slightest violation is punishable by death. But one day someone will come who will say to the suffering: “Live!” An ordinary person, he will try to ease the burden of the game and give people hope. Will it be his fault that everyone cannot be saved?
