The novel “Akaki Akakievich” by the famous Israeli prose writer Leonid Levinzon talks about the turning point of the late twentieth century in our country. Structurally, the novel is divided into four parts connected by a common hero and representing individual works. If in the first part of the novel the hero is a student of the medical institution and his study is connected by many cute details that make the reader smile, then starting with the second part of the novel everything becomes much more serious. The young doctor gets to work in a maximum security colony in the Far North, returning to Ukraine, participates in the elimination of the consequences of Chernobyl, becomes a witness to perestroika, sees how banditry is gaining strength, how national identity awakens.
Despite the grandiose events, the participant of which is the young hero, the main feature of the novel is the ridiculous light style of the narrative and a special trust intonation that makes the reader the author’s interlocutor.
"The best car in the world, even better Lada and Ferrari - MAZ with a trailer. You climb up and swim over the ground, swallowing kilometers like fate. Tiny people wave their hands, ask to stop, give up. And it is already almost unimportant that you are just a caught criminal, released for obedience to the settlement, dirty, overgrown, smeared later, with all his giblets, given to the head of the detachment - the Ryazan peasant with the same habits as yours. A man with heavy fists and tiny stitches on the uniform. "
