Victor Pelevin. Empire V (№ 250816)

The Soviet government built these houses, brought them, and then suddenly and took over. Was this some kind of a quiet "sorry."
Strangely, however, it seemed that the era was over, and the people who lived in it, remained in place, in concrete cells their Soviet homes. Torn only the invisible threads connecting them together. And then, after several years of weightlessness, stretched differently. And the world became quite different - although no scientific instrument could detect these threads. This was something magnificent.
