The joint work of the poet Igor Irteniev and the artist Andrei Biljo is already the second in their publishing portfolio. The first, the Empire of Good, published in 1994, instantly became a bibliographic rarity. In addition to thirty years of friendship and ten years of cooperation in the magazine “Zhvanetsky’s store” (Irteniev was its editor -in -chief, and Bilzho - the main artist) of the authors unites the ironic, albeit their own, a look at the world that finally broke from all conceivable brakes.
