From the publisher:

The main character of the novel is a young journalist Anton Tsiperdyuk, who lives in a world divided into rich, safe "green zones" and poor, unprotected "red zones". After accidentally committing a crime, Anton is forced to flee to the territory of the red zone, which he fears and has only seen in the media. Expecting the worst, it is in this environment of people with a reputation for failure that he finds his best friends and his beloved.

The novel is set in Kyiv in the near future, but most of the things described are typical of modern Ukraine. In the book, these problems are brought to a new level: bad roads are getting worse, houses are turning into multi-storey slums, and owners of cool electronic gadgets are facing a lack of clean water. Anton and his new friends fight against developers who evict people from their homes under the pretext of "developing" the city. He faces torture in the so-called law enforcement agencies. People are divided into first and second class, and a wall is built between them, guarded by armed mercenaries. All this in a society that calls itself democratic."

"The Red Zone" is a suspenseful novel in which the author uses his own experience of survival and social struggle.
