The Great Dream

«The Great Dream» — the confession of a hero who survived the chaos of the nineties, and in the relatively prosperous 2000s tries to find his place in the sun. An intellectual who dreamed of literature, he finds himself in... a criminal environment, where every day he must fight, not metaphorically, for survival. He reflects on life in the new Russia, fiercely debates with his alter ego — the phantom of a deceased friend, and adjusts to conditions where the only constant — is mortal danger. This is a story about deep disappointment, the loss of faith in people, and attempts to regain that faith. Whether it has been regained — the reader will decide. The author clearly knows what has been regained — or at least attempted.
A ruthless portrait of an era
An authentic view of chaos, crime, and the formation of new business in post-Soviet Russia
The author is a laureate and finalist of several literary awards, including «Yasnaya Polyana», «The Big Book», and «National Bestseller»
