The novel by Ksenia Kirillova, a writer and political analyst who is recognized as a foreign agent in Russia, is "The Spirit of War," and this spirit is clearly felt there even in seemingly peaceful cities. This is both a continuation of the story begun in the novel "Allies" and an independent work.The book is set in 2025. Among other things, the topic of Russian deserters with their characteristic "zeroes" appears there, and new operations abroad, only this time by Ukrainian, not Russian, special services, and the teenager is a former "unarmee." And, of course, Slava and Bogdan meet there again, only this time they seem to be changing roles. But for Bogdan, expediency and result become more important, while Fame, on the contrary, is affected by the moral aspect.The book contains a topic that is close to the author's own experience of the persecution of Russian dissidents abroad. And, of course, new realities pose new moral problems for the characters. Instead of Belgrade, the main setting this time is sunny Tbilisi with its unique flavor and hidden historical gems and secrets of the past.
