Dmitri Danilov’s double award winning novel SASHA, HELLO! is welcoming us to the new Russia. Prisons are now called Combinat, you live like in a luxury hotel. Executions are no longer carried out by executioners. Instead, a warden takes you out for a walk every day through the same hallway, where one fine day you will be torn to pieces by a salvo of an algorithm controlled machine gun. This can happen in three days or in thirty years. As luck would have it. All humane, because you actually don‘t notice anything and can go on living your life as before.

Serbian translation published by Logos Publishers

In Leonid Yuzefovich’s latest and again award winning book, he brings history back to life by again empathizing with the mind of a historically authentic figure. These are the fictional but based on real events memoirs of the Russian officer, Captain Solodovnikov, who served as a military adviser in the Mongolian army in 1912–1914, when the Mongols defended their independence from China. The book intertwines the siege of the Chinese-occupied fortress of Bar-Khoto with love for the wife of a Russian diplomat in Mongolia, the First World War and Solodovnikov’s deportation from Leningrad to Transbaikalia in the mid-1930s. The hero rethinks his own life and, with it, the fate of a person in a critical epoch.
