Victor Pelevin is one of the most famous modern writers, whose novels of the 1990s, collected in this volume, have greatly influenced the development of Russian literature. Reality intertwined with phantasmagoria, the eccentricity of the plot, the combination of heterogeneous devices have become the key to the continued success of V. Pelevin's works with readers. The life of insects is a special phantasmagoric world in which the most ordinary phenomena of post-Soviet reality appear as a reflection of eternal magical rituals. A world in which mosquito people, moth people and scarab people try to know themselves, but by revealing the lie they do not approach the truth, and by multiplying the lie they do not move away from the truth. The hero of the novel "Chapaev and Void" is a patient of a psychiatric hospital, Pyotr Void, who imagines himself a decadent poet. He lives in two different eras: in 1919 he meets Chapaev, serves as a commissar in his division, falls in love with Anka and even nearly dies in battle; and in another reality he meets with Kawabata, Schwarzenegger and “just Maria” ... Over the years that have passed since the release of Generation “P”, customers and advertising producers have changed, computer reality has become more important than television reality. But the cult status of the novel has not changed: the parable beginning in it turned out to be stronger than the momentary one. Young people still recognize themselves in Babylen Tatarsky, and seances with Comandante Che reveal to them the truth about the nature of man and society.
