A novel about power, fear and myths that are born on the ruins of empires. After the collapse of Russia, a new republic appears, and the Minister of Culture disappears without a trace. The abduction sets off a chain of events in which politics, crime, avant-garde art, the Soviet past and the traumas of war are intertwined. "The Bull" is an intellectual thriller and a political parable at the same time. Here, detective intrigue is juxtaposed with an alternative story, and the fate of one person is linked to the question of who creates new states, symbols and heroes and why. A tough, ironic, clever text is for readers who appreciate modern prose without illusions, but with great inner energy.
