On February 8, Oleg Volov died. On the evening of February 9, I sat in Vitya’s room and Vitya and I ate half the cheesecakes that I bought on the way. We agreed in advance to meet to discuss how to raise money to help Oleg. Oleg ended up in the hospital with a second stroke. In the afternoon, February 9th, Andrei Zhdanov called me and informed me about Oleg’s death. Now we sat in Vita’s room and ate cheesecakes. Of course, there were no words. And a few days ago, says Vitya, Boris Ivanov died.

Perhaps there are no clear criteria that can clearly separate utopias and dystopias, social and science fiction. Except for the intuitive understanding that dystopia is a description of a society that does not promise much optimism. Therefore, classifications that offer both subtypes of utopias (ecotopia, practopia, etc.) and differences between a probable future and an alternative history seem redundant to me.
