Bad Weather

Alexei Ivanov’s novel “Bad Weather” portrays Russia in the 1990s — a time of profound transformation, criminal turf wars, and complex human destinies. At the center of the narrative is the story of Afghan War veterans striving to find their place in the new reality of post-Soviet Russia. The author masterfully captures the atmosphere of the era, the social tensions, and the moral dilemmas of characters swept up in the whirlwind of historical events.
