Reprint. "Hospital" was the first of the novels of the post-Soviet period that heralded liberation from the total impositions of socialist realism, communist ideology, and false morality. The author said about the history of the creation of the novel. "I started the novel in 1990, I finished it in 1992, that is, when I was writing, you couldn't talk about the Soviet Union, and I buried myself deep in a metaphor: a hospital. I finished the first chapter, the Soviet Union collapsed. Now I didn't know how to continue this novel. Did I do the right thing by writing with this metaphor? How should I proceed... Then I looked around, a more terrible reality had begun, and time itself suggested how I should write the next chapters."
