Will Muratov be able to save Alisa and make people believe him? “I’m not lying, Mom…” is a novel based on real events about the last generation that lived through the Soviet Union, and such a recent, but seemingly unusually distant time on the eve of the collapse of a large multinational Motherland, when neighbors and friends left for other countries, pioneers threw away their ties and badges, and the ability to lie became a sign of growing up.
