"The Age of Amateurs" is a collection of satirical stories about the everyday life of the Russian diaspora abroad. The book plays out both representatives of the diaspora, who have chosen for themselves the thankless role of special services agents, and their compatriots, who periodically get into curious situations abroad.The heroes of the stories will quickly have to make sure that instead of the heroic pathos and special romance of the "oldest profession", they find themselves involved in strange and mostly meaningless intrigues, most of the participants of which pursue exclusively their own personal goals.Although all the characters and events in the stories are completely invented, and the coincidences are random, in general they reflect some of the phenomena taking place in the Russian-speaking diasporas.
