1. Der Tag Des Opritschniks
A darkly satirical dystopia that follows a single day in the life of an oprichnik—an elite enforcer in a revived autocratic Russia—tracing ritualized brutality, loyalty rituals and small private indulgences as the state’s medieval-style repression fuses with modern technology and propaganda; through grotesque, often blackly comic episodes the narrative exposes xenophobia, surveillance, the commodification of violence and the erosion of individual humanity under totalizing power.
