The Flight of Locusts

The Flight of Locusts is a novel-research of the wild 90s, where bold non-fiction intertwines with the traditions of smart artistic prose. At the center of the book is the fate of one of the most influential and dubious characters of that time, oligarch Boris Berezovsky. The author of the novel is well acquainted with his hero: a former scientist, a writer at the turning point of systems, found himself in big business and worked side by side with the notorious BAb. Before the reader's consciousness unfolds the story of LADA, the era of tough initial capital accumulation in the country, and its acting semi-criminal figures. At the same time, the life story of three well-known adventurers in Russian history: Trotsky, Azef, Parvus, unfolds. Gogol's question: Russia, where are you rushing? remains relevant, and you have a new answer before you.
