Why "soup and champagne"? Vladimir Ovcharenko answers this question: "Borscht and champagne — twins and brothers. So from time immemorial instituted in Russia. Here all the holidays and all "ball of confusion": whether West, whether East; or to capitalism, or to serfdom. So is this collection — is the flesh of his time, for Russia — rapid, transparent and not always fun, but opening before the new generation the door in a beautiful tomorrow. There will be all — and life without oil, and the computer brain, and immortality and, of course, the modern, new generation, art.
