The final, fifth book of the famous fiction-documentary cycle "Voices of Utopia" by Svetlana Alexievich, winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature "for her multi-voiced work is a monument to the suffering and courage of our time". "Communism had a crazy plan," the author tells us, "to remake the 'old' man, the old Adam. And it succeeded.... Maybe the only thing that worked out. In seventy-odd years, the laboratory of Marxism-Leninism has developed a separate human type - homo soveticus. Some consider it a tragic character, others call it a "sovk." I think I know this man, he is well known to me, I am close to him, I have lived side by side for many years. He is me. These are my acquaintances, friends, parents". The monologues included in the book were recorded for ten years while traveling throughout the former Soviet Union.
