«The Rubicon» by Maxim Titovetz is a play in two acts that portrays the conflict between Russian Federation leadership and Russian society during the times of Vladimir Putin. The action takes place in Moscow, where the protagonist, Alexey Nikolayevich, works in the government and is forced to choose between loyalty to the regime or his beliefs.
Confronted with a series of decisions, Nikolayevich must navigate the complexities of politics and define his personal views on social justice and democracy. One of the most controversial issues explored in the play is the role of oil and gas industries in Russia, which have long been considered essential drivers of its economy.
«Last night I had a dream: the sea at dawn…», which takes its name from an expression often attributed to Cicero but in fact his own creation, was been published similarly. There are no more plans to publish it as another book, so now you have it finally in english. And as usual Maxim explains some thoughts, musings, insights about film and art, society, morality, religion, senseations and other interesting things. We can compare these plays and find similarities, but they are also quite different. With both books being fascinating. As with all Titovets' work, the attention to detail, deception, brutality and brutal deception... It amplifies and reveals a genius treatment but might also show to some just how much our world sucks lol. Read them if you learn so learn for yourself. Because as Maxim himself once saying, «Only the good and useful is learnt in life, everything else is simply remembered».
