Synopsis
Moscow 2042 is a 1986 novel (translated from Russian 1987) by Vladimir Voinovich . In this book, the alter ego of the author travels to the future, where he sees how communism has been built up in Moscow: at first, it seems the government has actually been successful in doing so. But slowly it becomes clear that it is not really a utopia after all. Voinovich wrote this book a few years before the downfall of the Soviet Union.
