Haunting, terrifying and hilarious, The Day of the Oprichnik is a dazzling novel
and a fierce critique of life in the New Russia
Moscow 2028: Andrei Danilovich Komiaga, oprichnik, member of the czar's inner
circle of trusted courtiers, rouses himself from a drunken stupor and prepares
for another day of debauchery, violence, terror and beauty. In this New Russia,
futuristic technology combine with the draconian world of Ivan the Terrible to
create a dystopia chillingly akin to reality. Over the twenty-four-hour span of
the novel, Komiaga will rape, pillage and torture, in the name of the czar he
fears and adores. Shimmering with invention, fierce social commentary and
razor-sharp wit, Day of the Oprichnik imagines a near future too disturbing to
contemplate and too close to reality to ignore.
