Аннотация
Перевод романа А. Хасавова на английский А. Тейта.
SENSE is the name of the organization launched by a Narcissistic 20-year-old boy who wants to live for the sake of a lofty goal but is unable to fit into any socio-cultural framework. He yearns for glory and finally decides that the only way to win it is to stage a revolution. SENSE paints an ironic picture of Russia's political life today and shows to what limits an indifferent and hypocritical society can push a romantically-minded young person. It is about a young man's rebellious search for identity and his attempts to find some sense in the chaos around him. In his attempts to find co-thinkers the protagonist meets ex-prisoners of Guantanamo, some National Bolsheviks, the Islamic Committee, and the Youth Union "Hurray!"
