Cemetery with Weifai. 2nd edition. Rubinstein L.

In the book of Leo Rubinstein, an epic struggle between the past and the present unfolds. The Soviet past entangles our subconscious, embodied in obsessive images of propaganda, instructions, amendments, prohibitions, reservations, donkeys and other psychopathology of political life. The author’s attentive look with unmistakable intuition grabs the most resonant informational absurdities and shows what they are made of and how to be with them. But Rubinstein's approach is far from journalism. Rather, he shows how, armed with common sense and soft humor, the technique of fragmented writing can quickly and accurately respond to the information agenda of modern Russia.
