"The bishop's Green Certificate folded in Half" is the last book of poetry by Eduard Limonov, compiled by the author but not published during his lifetime. "This is the book of Eduard Limonov's farewell to life. A book that comes to the reader a few years after his death. Here, as always, everything is alive: the strange turns of phrases, the magic of unexpected images, the piercing precision of wrongness. <...> A collection of exquisite, colorful, extraordinary poems, the most powerful of which, in my opinion, the simplest are the poems of a condemned man. In life, he hid his weakness and suffering from everyone, but like no one else, he was open about himself in literature. This is a book with the last confessions, the end of a long confession by a Russian writer." — Sergey Shargunov
