Collected Works. Volume 13. 2013-2024

This volume includes prose, dramatic, and journalistic texts united by a common theme. At the center is contemporary Russian reality, where career strategies often replace convictions, and external freedom does not negate internal dependence. Polyakov addresses private life, social distortions, and moral decisions that a person makes under pressure of circumstances. A separate place is occupied by interviews: they contain reflections on literature, time, personal misconceptions, and the changes that have occurred with the author and his generation over the decade.
