Gripperoman | Ideologie trifft auf Reklame, Dostojewski auf die Turtles
by Bettina Kaibach, Alexei Salnikow
Das postsowjetische Jekaterinburg, kurz vor Silvester: Petrow, Automechaniker und erfolgloser Künstler, fühlt sich grippig. Auf dem Weg zur Arbeit wird er von seinem alten Freund Igor abgefangen und schon sitzen die beiden in einem Leichenwagen um einen Sarg und kippen einen Wodka nach dem nächsten. Währenddessen versucht Petrows Ex-Frau die Mordgedanken zu unterdrücken, die ständig von ihr Besitz ergreifen ... Nicht nur der Alkohol benebelt hier die Sinne wie seit Wenedikt Jerofejews »Reise nach Petuschki« nicht mehr. Alexei Salnikow fasst den maroden Zustand der postsowjetischen Gesellschaft ins Bild einer ansteckenden Krankheit, die niemanden verschont. Unverdaut stehen in den fiebrigen Gehirnen der Petrows Erinnerungssplitter aus der Breschnew-Ära neben Fetzen westlicher Popkultur, trifft Ideologie auf Reklame, Dostojewski auf die Turtles. Nach moralischem Halt sucht man vergebens, während Ewiggestrige und Marginalisierte durch die verstörte Gegenwart marodieren. Dass die Petrows inmitten des Irrwitzes trotz allem eine zarte Menschlichkeit bewahren, zeichnet Salnikows hochaktuellen Roman aus.

May 2014A Cossack Spring
The Tsar's Dragons Part Four
by Catrin Collier
When Alexei Beletsky brings John Hughes news of an impending pogrom planned by Misha, a captain in the Cossack regiment, he conceals more than he tells him. Engaged to a Jewess, Ruth, Alexei is aware that Captain Misha Razin has been motivated by more than the age-old hatred of the Cossacks for the Jews. Misha is in love with Alexei’s cousin Sonya, but Sonya has already given her heart to a Jew, who dare not declare his love for a Christian because he cannot bear the prospect of being shunned by his people and his religion. John, Glyn, Richard, and Alexei enlist the assistance of the local orthodox priest, Father Grigor, and the commandant of the Cossacks. They devise a plan – one which they hope will avoid a massacre. But can they dissuade Misha and save an entire community, or will blood run in the streets of the shtetl as it has done so many times before?

FictionJanuary 2020All This Exists
by Íñigo Redondo
The revelation debut of 2020. This is a novel about the unexpected places where one can find refuge. This is the story of a man and a girl whose paths cross when life turns its back on them. Alexei is forty years old and the headmaster of a school in a Ukrainian city. His wife has just left him, and his days follow the same unchanging pattern: at night he drinks until he passes out, and during the day he fights to hide his pain and misery at the school. From the window of his office he observes the students at playtime and starts to pay attention to a girl who is always alone. He soon learns that her father beats her, and she asks him for help and together they decide to stage their disappearance: Irina will spend the two years until she comes of age at Alexei’s house. They spend the time playing long games of chess and listening to the radio which becomes the girl’s only link with an outside world that is witnessing the collapse of Communism. Those four walls that contain all the cold and all the chaos of a lost man will be the witness of this unexpected thaw while Alexei and Irina face the multiple facets of their relationship: the girl’s fear that her mother is suffering, the awkwardness he feels before an adolescent girl who will soon be a woman, the paternal instinct that has emerged unexpectedly, the incipient rebelliousness of a sweet and clever young girl or Alexei’s affectionate attempts to give the girl space for intimacy and self-discovery. Life goes on outside the confines of Irina’s world, outside that impossible bubble, and nobody can guess what is hidden behind that cold window of that grey block of flats on that frozen street of a town that the world could barely place on a map. Nobody is aware either that the existence of the two is contained within a limbo that distances the misfortune of their arrival in that space that separates a question from its answer. When a nuclear accident that will go down in history forces them to evacuate the city, they will have to finally face up to the question that has pursued them for almost two years: Do they want to return to the real world? This is the story of a meltdown, a mutual fascination, about the unthinkable places where we find refuge; it is about two hurt animals who invent a world where it is possible to believe that everything will be better some day.

FictionDecember 2017La biblia aria
by Jordi Matamoros
The renowned professor of mineralogy Leonid Kulik, is appointed to carry out the investigation of a great explosion that took place in 1980, June the 30th, in the Siberian tundra of Tunguska. Together with his assistant, good friend and also professor Alekséi, he will enter an inhospitable territory considered cursed by the locals, who attribute the disaster to divine punishment. Superstitions, the weather and the difficulties of the road will not prevent them from locating the epicenter where a meteorite allegedly impacted, allegedly destroying more than 10 million trees. There they will find something very different from what they expected: no trace of a crater or a fireball, although, anchored in the air, an oval object of unknown nature, waiting to be found. The investigation of what clearly appears to be an extraterrestrial ship, will trigger a series of events in which the teachers will be involved. A Nazi secret society, commanded by the Führer himself, will traverse time to the very cradle of humanity, to discover that nothing is as they have told us. * * * El reconocido profesor de mineralogía Leonid Kulik, es designado para llevar a cabo la investigación de una gran explosión que tuvo lugar el 30 de junio de 1908 en la tundra siberiana de Tunguska.

Las supersticiones, el clima y las dificultades del camino no impedirán que localicen el epicentro en el que supuestamente impactó un meteorito que habría arrasado más de 10 millones de árboles. Allí hallarán algo muy distinto a lo que esperaban: ni rastro de cráter ni de bólido, aunque sí, anclado en el aire, un objeto oval de naturaleza desconocida, esperando a ser encontrado. La investigación de lo que a todas luces parece ser una nave extraterrestre, desencadenará una serie de acontecimientos en los que los profesores se verán implicados. Una sociedad secreta nazi, comandada por el Führer en persona, surcará el tiempo hasta la misma cuna de la humanidad, para descubrir que allí nada es como nos lo han contado.
