Georgy Urushadze, publisher: — ‘Springfield’ can under no circumstances be published in modern Russia, and not only because of the ‘wrong’ orientation of the main character. I found this novel via a link on Facebook. With the words ‘this is stronger than ‘Edichka’’ I sent it to my friends. Writers are offended by comparisons with others, so I will say this: this is a novel of a generation. A generation of thirty-year-olds, crushed by Russian reality, destroying everything alive and unlike the mainstream. It is a must-read.
