The Road That Does Not Exist

What do we know about those people who, under the guise of law-abiding citizens, live in our country — and pass on information to their masters? How should we feel about someone who publishes texts abroad that negatively describe the... Motherland? In any state, such people are despised. And if caught — they are sent to prison. This is exactly what happened to Timur — after a noisy trial he completely admitted his guilt, served 5 years, and lost the respect of his family. But he committed no crime! There is just no point in proving it… It’s good that the judge on maternity leave, Irina Polyakova, and the tough old woman, Hortensia Andreevna, decided to shake up this case, stitched not just with white, but practically non-existent threads. And the scraps flew about the alleyways, through the vicinity of Leningrad and its suburban areas! It turns out they were looking in the wrong place — and the unpleasant truth was found elsewhere?
