Vladimir Paperny is a culturologist, architectural historian, designer, and writer. His book on Stalinist architecture, Culture Two, became an intellectual bestseller.
Los Angeles. Emigrant Alexander Shults, Shusha, unexpectedly receives a parcel. The box contains sheets and spools of notes. Exploring a seemingly already lost archive, the architect Schultz completes the history of his family. This story becomes a real “Russian novel”, where there is no less humor than drama, and love again conquers death. “The novel “The Schulz Archive” restores in memory a picture of Soviet life in its marginal, semi-underground and unclaimed area. A wonderful demonstration of the indestructibility of a culture that, like underground water, still finds its way, and a fascinating story about a generation of persecuted, smart and cheerful.” Lyudmila Ulitskaya, Moscow “A mosaic of vivid portraits, poignant episodes, and amusing anecdotes form the inevitable fate of Shusha, following the internal logic of the era: from native roots, a harsh past, stormy youth, right up to the last address - America. We opened it with the author of the novel in the same years, therefore, as a witness and accomplice, I can firmly say: it’s true with the authentic. Alexander Genis, New York
