Текст песни Стругацкие - Град обреченный 03

The city is doomed

The “Doomed City" genre (1970-1975) is the only work of authors written by them without any hope of publication. Without thinking about censorship and in no hurry, the brothers wrote this, their favorite novel, just the way they wanted. And it turned out a fascinating story of tremendous power about a mysterious city, where a sinister and exorbitantly protracted Experiment is conducted over all people. The novel was first fully published in 1989 and then seemed to be a capacious metaphor for building socialism. Today we understand how much deeper this actually is. And reading the book is still just as interesting!
