Summary

When young programmer Alexander Ivanovich Privalov picks up two hitchhikers while driving in Karelia, he is drawn into the mysterious world of the National Institute for the Technology of Witchcraft and Thaumaturgy, where research into magic is serious business.

And where science, sorcery and socialism meet, can chaos be far behind?

Weird and charming satire

Upbeat satire of Soviet research institutions, filled with larger-than-life folklore characters. Alice in Wonderland, Pratchett vibes. I expect lots of the satire went over my head. Very well produced, with high quality clear and varied narration, probably one of the best I’ve experienced so far on audible. Very enjoyable!
