"Zelënoe udostoverenie episkopa, slozhennoe vdvoe" - posledni͡ai͡a kniga stikhov Ėduarda Limonova, sostavlennai͡a avtorom, no ne opublikovannai͡a pri ego zhizni. "Ėto kniga proshchanii͡a Ėduarda Limonova s zhiznʹi͡u. Kniga, kotorai͡a prikhodit k chitateli͡u cherez neskolʹko let posle ego smerti. Zdesʹ, kak u nego vsegda, vsë zhivoe: strannye povoroty fraz, magii͡a neozhidannykh obrazov, pronzitelʹnai͡a tochnostʹ nepravilʹnosti. <…> Sobranie izyskannykh, pëstrykh, neobyknovennykh stikhotvoreniĭ, samye silʹnye iz kotorykh, po‑moemu, samye prostye - stikhi prigovorënnogo k smerti. V zhizni on pri͡atal ot vsekh slabostʹ i stradanie, no kak nikto byl otkrovenen o sebe v literature. Ėto kniga s poslednimi priznanii͡ami, konet͡s dolgoĭ ispovedi russkogo pisateli͡a". - Sergeĭ Shargunov

"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
