This book is the result of a dialogue between writer Alexey Ivanov and his readers. Initially a question-and-answer exchange, it later expanded to an online format and evolved into a multifaceted analysis of our lives and the processes unfolding in politics, economics, journalism, culture, and writing.
One of the most renowned and prominent writers of our time, Alexey Ivanov, who co-produced the documentary "The Spine of Russia" on Channel One in 2010 with Leonid Parfenov, and authored the film adaptation of the novel "The Geographer Drank His Globe Away" and the bestsellers "Tobol," "Pishcheblok," "The Heart of Parma," and many others, takes a very serious approach to conversations with his numerous readers.
A multitude of sometimes awkward, unusual, challenging, and even provocative questions gave the author the opportunity to express himself and revealed a fascinating cross-section of the topics that concern our compatriot. Alexey Ivanov himself clearly defines the hierarchy of his interests and spheres of influence: "Where conversations about politics begin, conversations about culture immediately end. A writer is, after all, a social agent of culture, not politics."
This dynamic and very lively book will appeal not only to the author's fans, but also to anyone interested in the way the country and its inhabitants live today.
