Lakinsk Project. Garichev D.

“Is it conceivable: you died without having time to get your pages, there was not a single correspondence left of you, but this did not add anything to your death, but, on the contrary, took it from her.” The matured hero Dmitry Garicheva writes a letter to the deceased friend of youth, recalling the joint experience of living in the gloomy near Moscow village. The era of the late 1990s-early 2000s, still not really meaningful in modern Russian literature, becomes the main space and the hero of the story. The first love experiments, teenage fears, trips on night electric trains. The reality in which all this happened is no longer, as there are no living friends of the Addish, but the narrator stubbornly resurrects them in their memory to answer himself the question: where are these memories-to paradise or hell?
