Collected Works. Volume 12. 1986-2006

Without exaggeration, the well-known Russian writer Yuri Polyakov can be called the leading publicist of modern Russia. For more than thirty years, his articles, appearing on the pages of central periodicals, have elicited fervent approval from some and fierce rejection from others, but they leave no one indifferent. The author vividly, persuasively, and with striking irony writes about the "desovietization of the country," about the "virus of moral deficit," about "state inadequacy," about "the silence of the Kremlin," about "the lost victory," "about the lezginka at the Lobnoe place," about "budget patriotism," about "the flying elite," about the predominance of "sorosites" in our culture… Due to his article "The Opposition is Dead. Long Live the Opposition!" in October 1993, the authorities closed "Komsomolskaya Pravda." Polyakov's journalism is a passionate, stirring chronicle of our recent history.
