About the book: year / An awkward, but seemingly harmless newcomer in the brigade of an ordinary guy Minka Budarin turns out to be nothing less than a particularly dangerous criminal. But what and whose laws did he violate? Who is persecuting him and for what? Minka will have to deal with all these questions, because you can’t tell anyone: they won’t believe you. And leaving a friend in trouble is the last thing, no matter how strange he may be. The story was awarded the second prize by the magazine “Around the World” and its supplement “Seeker”. This is a partially rewritten version of the story “Different Among Different”, published in 1987.
