Dead souls in the 21st century
If Gogol lived in our time, I think he could with the same success as 170 years ago, to write the novel “Dead Souls” with the difference that the actions would not take place in serf Russia, but in the modern Russian Federation. In the original novel, the main character, Chichikov, carried out various frauds with “dead souls” to achieve his personal goals. By the way, the novel had a real Podusnov and this would not be different from the modern version. So, modern Russia, 2012.
