"Russian Roulette" - audiobook
This audiobook is a work of fiction.
Any resemblance to real people, living or dead, is entirely deliberate.
Satire exists for one simple reason:
when reality stops responding to logic, irony becomes the last functioning tool.
The stories in this collection were written not to explain the world, but to record its absurdity. Power behaves like a personality disorder, propaganda like a natural disaster, and history like a badly edited television show that never gets canceled.
Some listeners will recognize familiar figures, situations, or voices. Others will see only grotesque caricatures. Both are correct. Satire does not accuse — it reflects. And reflections, as we know, are rarely flattering.
This book offers no solutions.
It offers symptoms.
If you laughed, felt uneasy, or suddenly realized the joke sounds disturbingly plausible, then the text has done its job.
History has an excellent sense of humor.
Unfortunately, it tends to deliver the punchline too late.
