The days of the young Ukrainian poet Otto von F., a student at the Literary Institute in Moscow, are filled with endless drinks with friends and unpleasant sexual pleasures. Even until one Saturday, the “water goat” does not bring the singer into the underground of the Moscow metro, but it becomes like a greedy symposium of the dead. From now on, Otto von F. is trying to ratuvat not only the life of the KDB, but also the powerful receipt for the train, which may be the result of the city of Kiev.

“Moscowiada” is one of the iconic novels of the famous Ukrainian writer Yuri Andrukhovich - is filled with both grotesque and surrealistic moments, and current realities that accompanied the collapse of the communist empire. Written over thirty years ago - 1992 - the novel still enchants with its sparkling style and carnival mood, and also seems extremely relevant now, in the hour of Russia's large-scale attack on Ukraine - and the residual disintegration of the empire, certificates of what we will become.
