- The Nobel laureate in literature Svetlana Aleksievich about Sergey Lebedev's prose: “Turn off the TV and read it ... Sergey Lebedev writes not about the past, but about the present. He writes that we still have not experienced, have not comprehended the era of Stalin. Perestroika seems already forgotten antiquity, and Stalin alive. In the nineties we were all romantics, we thought that here it is freedom. But the person who has lived all his life in the camp cannot go out the gate and become free tomorrow. Instead of perestroika and freedom - a plundered country, the Russians are fighting with the Ukrainians, again erecting monuments to Stalin. In churches they pray for great Russia. This is not the generation of Stalin, but their children. Children of their children. Infinite and dark connection. Lebedev’s heroes are looking for a way, a way to break this umbilical cord ... ”
From reviews:
- “Sergey Lebedev opens up a new space in literature. Lebedev’s prose is accurate images and a tremendous gift of observation. ” (Der Spiegel)
- "The beauty of the tongue is almost unbearable ...". (Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung)
