About This Book
"Limonov n'est pas un personnage de fiction. Il existe. Je le connais. Il a été voyou en Ukraine; idole de l'underground soviétique sous Brejnev; clochard, puis valet de chambre d'un milliardaire à Manhattan; écrivain branché à Paris; soldat perdu dans les guerres des Balkans; et maintenant, dans l'immense bordel de l'après-communisme en Russie, vieux chef charisma-tique d'un parti de jeunes desperados.
