Aquarium The novel "Aquarium" was written 4 years ago. In 2011 it seemed that a new revolution, the struggle for freedom and dignity, and moreover territorial integrity in Ukraine was impossible. The book by Oleksiy Chupa turned out to be a foresight, and yet a universal story out of time and space. This surprisingly cinematic anti-utopia about a crazy man, who grew a diminished version of human society in the giant aquarium, is an attempt to explore the motivations of the dictator and understand the mechanisms of creation and functioning of a totalitarian society with a cool head.
