The novel "Pasternak" consists of battles and philosophical disputes, it is called an intellectual thriller, an Orthodox action movie with elements of Dostoevism and Tarantinoism. The poet Pasternak appears here as a giant demon, a creature of evil, capturing the minds of the Russian intelligentsia, and the fight against him is carried out not with words, but with weapons. “Lnov sees an electric pole stuck obliquely into the ground. Wires, like steel cables, hold it, in this way it looks like a cross on a cathedral dome. A huge creature sits motionless on the crossbar. It spreads its ragged wings. Their webbed underside is moon-white in color and covered with inscriptions. The giant horse skull still bears the distorted human features of the dead poet. His eyes glow with a pale, putrid glow. Black mucus flows from the wings, but does not drip onto the ground, remaining inside the essence, as if it were not demonic flesh that oozes, but the wind shakes the black oil silk of the mantle on the bird-like shoulders of the corpse. Lnov is trying to read the inscriptions on the wings, he hears the voice of the priest: “Do not read the dactyl on these birds!”
