Kumach is torn. Roman about the end of perestroika. Boykov I.A.

The Bible claims that Moses for forty years drove through the desert of Jews who left Egypt, so that a generation was born during this time that did not remember life in the abandoned homeland. And in Russia, quietly and imperceptibly, the thirty anniversary has passed since the beginning of the Gorbachevsky catastrophy, the memory of which is not only in the minds of the young generation, but also in mature people dissolves in the darkness of time.

Igor Boykov’s book returns us during the years Perestroika in a fever, when ideology and morality were degraded, the economy and the state were destroyed, and treason and madness reigned everywhere: from the Kremlin to the outskirts of the country of Soviets. There were few who stood in that troubled time, more, who was indispensively destroyed by their homeland, or was fenced off from the last times with the walls of his “hut from the edge.”

This novel is about “born storms” , about betrayal and asceticism, about how, contrary to everything, the small handful of patriots retained the honor and fidelity of the Fatherland. In the center of the work of the fate of the young man and the girls, whose first love died in the whirlwind of perestroika sold and crushed by an unrighteous era.
