Grigory Gash is an unusual phenomenon in Russian literature. Suffice it to say that critics call him the pioneer of a new genre - rhyming aphorism. Everything he writes - from couplets to poems, is very talented and distinctive. The title of the book "Jokes of the Elders of Zion" is characteristic. In this book, nugget finds are poured from the cornucopia, and all the highest quality. It is a rare mixture of irony and philosophy in beauty and taste.
