- Fiction, Social life and customs, Russian Psychological fiction
In the episodes of Zakharka's life, the reader sees him as a little boy, a bitterly drinking grave-digger, a nightclub bouncer or a soldier in Chechnya. He has no money, but the ability to enjoy life. He is contagiously full of passion for living, taking large gulps of it while being happy, despite the crudeness of his reality.
