About the book: 2004 / St. Petersburg of the second half of the 19th century, the time of Dostoevsky. The same anarchist and revolutionary youths, the same taverns and taverns, the same humiliation by poverty and extreme need. And the same terrifying arbitrariness of the official police machine. Mysticism, bombers, gentle souls and weak hearts in the fight against evil. Adventures and caustic moral descriptions are presented in a subtle frame of Russian psychological prose. The author's taste and the quality of the text are impeccable.
