Ironic adventure novel-parable about the events of the very recent past. The novel was written in 1999; everything is recognizable in it: the eternally drunk president, and the red-haired sod, who stole the USSR privatization project from a student in a Leningrad beer bar, and the short oligarchs. "Dwarf Time" was ready to be released in several publishers, but asked the author to remove from the content any mention of influential people. The author refused.
