About the book: year / Many people know the image of the folklorist Shurik from Gaidai’s comedy. In reality, everything is a little different: more interesting, more mystical and even... funnier. The author is a folklorist who has been recording oral stories related to sorcerers, werewolves, UFOs, etc. for more than 15 years. Meetings with modern healers and rural moonshiners, outstanding personalities and non-fictional characters - all this in an action-packed novel about an expedition into the unknown, a real “unknown land” for most townspeople - a Russian village.
