Presenting a wide variety of genres and tones, The Sugar Kremlin lays out a frightening vision of speculative mercilessness and carnivalesque political horror.The Sugar Kremlin is the followup to Vladimir Sorokins Day of the Oprichnik, taking place in the same New Medieval universe over the course of fifteen chapters that all return to the object of the title replicas of the Moscow Kremlin made of sugar. Thousands of these creations are given away to children during the holidays, then make their way through each stratum of Russian society. We follow the trajectories of these candied gifts from the hands of harried paupers to secret political dissidents, from tortureobsessed civil servants to sex workers in a nearby bordello...As Sorokin shifts from story to story and style to style, he draws the reader through grotesquely Russian scenes, creating an aberrantly metaphysical encyclopedia of the New Medieval "Russian soul." The candys sweetness is deceptiveunderneath it, you may detect notes of blood.
