It is difficult to determine the genre of Leninburg: this is and this A journey from Moscow to St. Petersburg (if it is, of course, Petersburg.), And a trip in time - to the “golden”, according to the writer, the age of the beloved, already left, “whale” city (and at the same time - the author - the author - Life): In the 50s-60s of the XX century. This is a psychological encyclopedia of time and place, impeccably conveying the aroma, taste, sound of the era. It is professionally accurate, especially in fragments dedicated to the musical and wider -cultural life of the city, its history and topography, and, at the same time, is a phantasmagoric: the author moves at ease in time, drinking a glass of wine in Count Arakcheev, present at the execution of the first Politzmaster General of Petersburg or going to where there are no mortals at all. The main thing: its construction and spirit are permeated by the most important life sensation for the author - a sense of freedom.
