Collected Works. Volume 12. 1986-2006

Without exaggeration, the well-known Russian writer Yuri Polyakov can be called the leading publicist of contemporary Russia. His articles, appearing on the pages of central periodicals, have evoked both warm approval from some and fierce rejection from others for over thirty years, but they leave no one indifferent. The author writes vividly, convincingly, and with piercing irony about the "desovietization of the country," the "virus of moral deficit," "state inadequacy," "the silence of the Kremlin," "the lost Victory," "the lezginka on the Lobnoye Mesto," "budget patriotism," "the migratory elite," and the prevalence of "Sorosyats" in our culture… Due to his article "The Opposition is Dead. Long Live the Opposition!" in October 1993, the authorities closed down "Komsomolskaya Pravda." Polyakov's journalism is a passionate, stirring chronicle of our recent history.
