In fact, this is a parable about Russian business, written in the genre of a rogue novel. Along with the skill, the amazing knowledge of the material that distinguishes Valery Dashevsky's prose is impressive. The action takes place shortly before the 1998 default. The hero is a man of the 80s generation, with a caustic mind and a rare sense of humor - a professional manager, trying to keep afloat a wholesale company selling water purification filters. He has to deal with a wide variety of people who came into the business during the transition period. The conclusion that business should still be moral explains the reasons for the crisis of today.
