The two-volume "Good Old Tsypkin. A Hint at a Collected Works" is the best of the last 10 years.

The second volume features Alexander Tsypkin's most famous stories and novellas, conceived and written in Moscow. Previously published stories include "Mado," "Faust," and "Heit"; the best collection of stories about the unprincipled Slavik; the top three monologues from the play "Intuition" (the chart was compiled based on audience and reader votes on the author's official website); and the previously unpublished story cycle "The Fine Work of Fate."

"Moscow, how much. How much you take and how much you offer in exchange."

Moscow, like a good producer, sees potential in a person and invests in them, but if the protégé doubts or is lazy, it quickly dumps them and seeks out a new, promising one with potential.

People, money, opportunities—take what you want, just realize what you're good at. No days off, no hesitation, no breaks. Moscow can't wait. Or rather, it doesn't want to.

Moscow is gradually taking more and more of your time outside of the standard workday. It takes it at a high price, of course. It's all fair.

And if you start refusing its offers, then... sooner or later Moscow will become disillusioned with you and turn off the tap, appointing someone else as its favorite. But the initial choice is always yours. To give up, or not to give up, the hours of your life for the gifts Moscow offers.

For now, I'm giving up. And this book is further proof of that. I could have done without the collected works. I could have, but I couldn't. Moscow persuaded me. Talked me into it."
