The Island of Crimea

Vasily Aksyonov

3.8/5 ( ratings)

Written in 1979, Vassily Aksyonov’s The Island of Crimea imagines an alternative history wherein the Russian civil war ends with the tsarist forces able to hold onto this southern scrap of the old empire. Skip forward sixty years, and Crimea is a booming Hong Kong to the U.S.S.R.’s China. To the contemporary Soviet reader, almost every word in that opening sentence invited giggles of dizzy disorientation.
