TATYANA MOROZOVA (1956–2011). August Follows August. IGOR KUZNETZOV. The Route.
Tatyana Morozova was a person of rare versatility: prosaist, painter, political technologist, theorist of the “mass” genres in literature and author of bestsellers… What is astonishing: she has realized herself practically in all these roles — in spite, thank to and in defiance of the times.
