Synopsis
A vodka-soaked tragicomedy of bribes, backhanders and a certain ex-president of Russia going catastrophically awry.
Former Russian president, Vladimir P, is going senile, marooned in a world of memories from his years in power. To get him out of the way, he has been exiled to his luxury dacha, where he is served by a coterie of bickering house staff. Only Sheremetev, the guileless nurse charged with Vladimir's round-the-clock care, is unaware that everyone else is busily using every means at their disposal to skim money from their employer's inexhaustible riches. But when the nurse suddenly needs to find cash for a bribe or see his nephew rot in jail, the dacha's chef lets him in on the secret world of 'commissions' going on all around him. Yet surely Sheremetev wouldn't think to steal from his ailing patient? And surely, in the upstanding modern Russia that Vladimir P created, no one would actually let him...

Paperback. Etat : Good. 336 pages. ex-library book, A biting satire of a particular despot and a deeply human allegory of the fra gility of goodness and the contagion of unchecked power.Set twenty-odd ye ars from now, it opens on Patient Number One?Vladimir Putin, largely forgotten in his presidential dacha, serviced by a small coterie of house staff, drifting in and out of his memories of the past. His nurse, charged with the twenty-four -hour care of his patient, is blissfully unaware that his colleagues are using t heir various positions to skim money, in extraordinarily creative ways, from the top of their employer?s seemingly inexhaustible riches.But when a fami ly tragedy means that the nurse suddenly needs to find a fantastical sum of mone y fast, the dacha?s chef lets him in on the secret world of backhanders and br ibes going on around him, and opens his eyes to a brewing war between the staff and the new housekeeper, the ruthless new sheriff in town.A brilliantly c ast modern-dayAnimal Farm,The Senility of Vladimir P.is a coruscating poli tical fable that shows, through an honest man slipping his ethical moorings, how Putin has not only bankrupted his nation economically, but has also diminished it culturally and spiritually.
