The event will take place at 50 Antonovycha Street. Earlier, at the Media Center Ukraine, the author spoke about his new book, which he wrote in 52 days. More details about the presentation are available on the website.
"I wrote a work of fiction, and the lookalikes are just a tool to show life in modern Russia," explained Oleksandr Krasovytskyi during his conversation with the press.

The novel "Today" is 500 pages long, written in a non-standard format. Readers will see only the direct speech of fictional characters, without the author's words.
The story features 12 characters, including a Ukrainian intelligence officer, two Russian women, one of whom considers herself an ethnic Ukrainian, two of Putin's bodyguards, four of his doubles, and special people who select the doubles and manage the processes.
There are currently 2500 copies available in Ukrainian and Russian, but the novel will soon be translated into English to reach even more readers.

Explaining why the original was translated into Russian, the author said: "We are not confined to the territory of Ukraine. We exist in a world where many Russian-speaking people, post-Soviet, including Ukrainian, who do not read Ukrainian, live beyond the borders of Ukraine and Russia."
