Anatoly Mariengof's novel "Cynics" is a bold, provocative and deeply lyrical text that has become one of the most striking works of Russian literature of the 1920s. Against the backdrop of revolutionary upheavals and the collapse of the old world, a story of love, betrayal and self-searching unfolds.

The main character, Vladimir, is a cynic who has lost faith in people. He seeks salvation in the arms of a woman, but even love cannot drown out the pain of loss and disappointment. Olga is a victim of time and her own illusions. Her cynicism is a defensive reaction to the collapse of her old values. She rushes between the desire for love and freedom from obligations, between the thirst for life and despair. Who in this couple is the cynical romantic and who is the romantic cynic?

The book, which caused a scandal in its time and was banned in the USSR, remains relevant today, reminding us of the fragility of the human soul in an era of social catastrophes.
