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 over thirty years, his articles, appearing on the pages of central periodicals, have elicited warm approval from some and fierce rejection from others, but have left no one indifferent. The author vividly, argumentatively, and figuratively writes with piercing irony about the "desovietization of the country," the "virus of moral deficit," "state insufficiency," "the silence of the Kremlin," the "lost Victory," "the lezginka at the Lobnoye Mesto," "budget patriotism," "the migratory elite," and the dominance of "soros children" 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, moving chronicle of our recent history.
For the first time, fans of the creativity of the "last Soviet writer" will be able to read it in the author's most sharpened version — without cuts, reductions, or editorial corrections.

The twelfth volume of the fifteen-volume collected works of the writer. The book includes the publicistics of Yuri Polyakov in all the fullness of the author's wit and mastery of the Russian language — without cuts, reductions, or compromises of editorial corrections.
Yuri Mikhailovich Polyakov is one of the most prominent writers, poets, playwrights, and publicists of our time, the author of the novels "The Gypsum Trumpeter," "The Kid in Milk," and the cycle "Sovdetstvo." Many of the author's works have been filmed or adapted for the theater stage.
