About the book: 2020 / The phone had an ID, and Novikov did not pick up the phone if Olga’s number was displayed. He didn’t want to lie, but the truth also resembled a lie, and he preferred not to pick up the phone at all, so as not to explain anything. Once again in his life there came a moment reminiscent of the evacuation of passengers from a sinking ship. It was possible to take only one person on board, but they asked for two: personal life and work. And once again Novikov, lowering his eyes in front of the tears of his personal life, extended his hand to work.
