The future has come and gone, the nuclear war is almost forgotten, not everyone survived, and those who survived will never be the same again. The peace treaty has not led to peace: violence has become the norm and the need, tolerance is more contagious than the Bolivian virus.
In the final part of the trilogy about Dr. Garin, Vladimir Sorokin draws the next, even more distant from us stage of post-apocalyptic decay. But its reality paradoxically seems much more recognizable. True, we do not immediately recognize the protagonist, but he remains, as a doctor should, an example of dignity and humanity. The train, an unchanging image that connects Russian, Soviet and post-Soviet literature, runs from east to west. Its fuel is people, not in the metaphorical but in the literal sense, and they have nowhere else to run. But the marvelous doctor and his unusual heirs give hope that the maddened world has not only an end, but a happier continuation.
