Features: A Large Share (Volume 1, 2, 3): The novel is set against the backdrop of major social changes from Mikhail Gorbachev's rise to power in the Kremlin to Boris Yeltsin's ascension and the dissolution of the Soviet Union. It tells the story of six intellectual elites who plunge into the business world, facing a turbulent, often tragic and brutal life. A group of talented young scholars, during the wave of economic privatization after the dissolution of the Soviet Union, leave the Institute of Economics of the Soviet Academy of Sciences to start businesses, establishing the Infra Car Company. Through collective efforts, Infra Car Company becomes a pride of the Russian automotive industry. However, in the fierce business war and the rampant pursuit of material and sensual desires, the growth and expansion of Infra Car Company are built on the blood and tears of its members, while the love and family lives of the business elites also undergo significant changes. The author pursues a "first-hand" documentary style in the novel, showcasing a "life that is entirely non-fictional." The New Money Lady (Volume 1, 2): Kasha, who is immersed in romantic love, unexpectedly discovers that her husband Zuyev has a mistress and is involved in laundering money with high-ranking government officials and the underworld. Her student-era lover, Tima, also falls victim to harm. Facing the tests of justice and evil, Kasha takes the initiative, using a "poison to fight poison" strategy to stop the crime. The novel is elegant, poignant, and flowing, with a lyrical romantic atmosphere that subtly reveals the author's faint sorrow. Zone 3 (Volume 1, 2): The number of mysterious disappearances among Moscow residents continues to rise. It is all related to a billionaire named Mustafa. He has built a special kingdom called "Zone 3" on a desolate wasteland 100 kilometers away from Moscow. The kidnapped people here are reduced to slaves. KGB Major Gurov infiltrates the den of evil and, in coordination with his comrades, ultimately destroys this hell on earth. The author, with the sincerity of someone who has endured hardships, mercilessly criticizes the ugly phenomena of contemporary Russian society. The novel features a roller-coaster plot, full of dangers, suspense, and excitement, leaving readers deeply reflective.
