Nikolai Nikolaevich and Camouflage: Two Novels by Yuz Aleshkovsky
4.0
Aleshkovsky's stories are not significant only for their strong linguistic profile but also for the author's keen study of Soviet life; Nikolai Nikolaevich depicts the blindness of ideology whilst Camouflage deals with the bitter realization that a revolution in the name of the People has devolved into a system in which those at the top enjoy a luxurious life while the People starve and descend into mindless drunkeness.
