This book was the last in a series of five works by Svetlana Aleksievich under the general title "Red Man. Voices of Utopia.
Communism had a crazy plan, - says the author in the preface to the book, - to remake the "old" man, "old Adam". And it happened… maybe it was the only thing that happened. For more than seventy years, a separate human type, the homo soveticus, has been created in the laboratory of Marxism-Leninism. Some people think that this is a tragic character, while others call him a "scoop". It seems to me that I know this person, she is well acquainted with me, I have lived next to her, side by side, for many years. She is me. These are my acquaintances, friends, parents. "
The author has been recording the monologues in the book for the last decade, traveling throughout the former Soviet Union.
Second-hand Time is my diagnosis to us, a diagnosis of what we have done in 20 years, our criminal romanticism and, as I now believe, our silence, our current silence and the silence of the elite. We ceded power to the bandits. I don't even know what to call it. This is not even a politician, but an order of those who have access to the Russian pie. So they divided it, and it's such a kind of order. "
