About the book: year / In "Sugar Kremlin" - a dystopia in stories from the virtuoso and provocateur Vladimir Sorokin - the heroes and realities of the novel "The Day of the Oprichnik" migrated. Here is the same surrealism and caustic satire, phantasmagoria, through which recognizable signs of modern Russian reality shine through. Continuing the theme, the author detailed the way of life in Russia of the future, where stoves are heated in high-rise buildings, brick walls are built, fencing off internal enemies, guardsmen fight external enemies; Fools and dwarfs walk the streets, and in brothels girls in sundresses and kokoshniks greet dear guests. Sugar and honey, spruce and hops, candy-lambs - all the stories are united by a common style, fantastic, smooth, sweet. And this sweetness makes the creepy world created by Sorokin seem even scarier.
