Sasha "Sankya" Tishin, and his friends are part of a generation
stuck between eras. They don't remember the Soviet Union, but they
also don't believe in the promise of opportunity for all in the
corrupt, capitalistic new Russia. They belong to an extremist group
that wants to build a better Russia by tearing down the existing
one. Sasha, alternately thoughtful and naive, violent and tender,
dispassionate and romantic, hopeful and hopeless, is torn between
the dying village of his youth and the soulless capital, where he
and his friends stage rowdy protests and do battle with the police.
When they go too far, Sasha finds himself testing the elemental
force of the protest movement in Russia and in himself. Originally
published in 2006, Sankya is a cult sensation in Russia, where it
won the Yasnaya Polyana Award and was shortlisted for the Russian
Booker and the National Bestseller Prize. Sankya is the basis for
Kirill Serebrennikov's popular play Thugs."
