Efim Zozulya is one of the outstanding Russian writers, whose name and work are returning to great literature after many years of undeserved oblivion. In the first decades of the 20th century, he was widely known both as the brilliant author of "Satyricon" and as one of the founders of the magazine "Ogonyok", but today he is interesting as the author of satirical, phantasmagoric dystopias, which recognized the realities of life in the USSR, contained accurate and merciless prophecies. Efim Zozulya died in battles near Rzhev in November 1941. Several generations of readers grew up unaware of the work of the writer, who was closely connected with Odessa. In the proposed collection, Evgeniy Golubovsky has collected from old publications that have become a bibliographic rarity, his most striking and significant works, which are interesting and relevant today - in the 21st century.
