"'One of us must leave,' the governor told me, but since the city loved me, the governor did not want to risk it, and I left," wrote in his autobiography Arkady Averchenko (1880 - 1925), Russian writer-satirist, editor of the magazine "Satirikon".
Stories and feuilletons Averchenko enjoyed great popularity in Russia in the early XX century. Under the conditions of severe censorship, he managed to tell about such aspects of Russian life, which could not be shown without fear of administrative and police persecution. The activities of the government and the State Duma, arbitrary power at all levels, all sorts of financial scams - all this is depicted by Averchenko in a cartoon form, vividly, vividly and wittily. The best of his works are included in this book.
