In the days leading up to New Year's, dramatic events unfold in the very center of Makhachkala: several people confront a major construction company, law enforcement agencies, and the city administration, defending a tree—the tallest beech tree in Europe—which is slated for felling to make way for an office building. There's something familiar about this plot... Will a handful of brave souls succeed in saving the tree, and how will the lives of the story's heroes—both the good guys and the notorious villains—change in the next few days?

The new book by Islam Khanipaev—a winner of the Lyceum literary prize, a finalist for the NOS and National Bestseller awards, and the winner of the Yasnaya Polyana reader's vote for his novella "Like Me"—is like a New Year's fairy tale: kind, as the genre dictates, funny in places, and tearfully sad in others, yet also scathingly ironic and merciless toward evil in all its forms.
