Baden." Leonid Tsypkin is an underrated classic of Russian literature: his prose was truly discovered only in the 2000s. "Summer in Baden," one of the main achievements of uncensored prose from the 1970s, does not fit into an established literary canon but rather changes it, standing alongside such cult books as "Moscow-Petushki" by Venedikt Erofeev and "School for Fools" by Sasha Sokolov. In the mesmerizing rhythm of the novel, the narrator's trip from Moscow to Leningrad in the 1970s interweaves with the journey of F.M. Dostoevsky and his wife Anna Grigorievna through Europe in 1867. In addition to the novel "Summer in Baden," the book includes other works by Leonid Tsypkin, as well as photographs he took of St. Petersburg locations associated with Dostoevsky's name. Leonid Tsypkin (1926–1982) was a writer, pathologist, and doctor of medical sciences.
