Mockery of History (set)

Here, they steal geese from the livestock farms, drink port wine on the roof of the Kazan Cathedral, Soviet citizens hunt for scarce goods and mock the leaders; here, the romantic builders of the Great Empire love, believe, and cheat,... while the golden Brezhnev era glimmers in the haze like a beautiful and nostalgic rogue novel. "ON THE EVE OF THE UNKNOWN" The ironic journalism of Mikhail Weller is neither a call to imprison thieves nor a shock at the mysteries of what is happening. A mockery of history over philosophy. From Caesar to our hard-working days and from Germany to China – where is everything headed? "JUST THINK ABOUT IT!.." The collection includes the brightest broadcasts of Mikhail Weller on "Echo of Moscow" and a number of sharp essays on the situation in the country and the problems of journalism.
