Before the reader lies a colorful and harsh novel about the "wild nineties." In the best traditions of Saltykov-Shchedrin, behind the name of the fictional city, one can discern a real one, and the "speaking" surnames of the characters belong... to actual historical figures.
A bold young man at the beginning of the perestroika creates his own company, and his business develops very quickly. But at every turn, the future prominent figure of the provincial region faces problems. How to avoid gangster attacks? Who among the envious circle can be trusted? How to protect loved ones? What to expect from the authorities? And how to save not only the company but also oneself during an era of change?
This book is about the quirks of fate in difficult times, about high stakes and losses, about risk, intuition, and the courage of choice.
The wise and slightly squinting gaze of the author highlights details that were previously considered taboo to speak about. Read the novel — your understanding of the era will become deeper.
