«The Age of Amateurs» – is a collection of satirical stories about the everyday life of the Russian diaspora abroad. The book features both representatives of the diaspora who have chosen the thankless role of intelligence agents and their compatriots who periodically get into curious situations abroad. The heroes of the stories will quickly find out that instead of the heroic pathos and special romance of the «ancient profession», they are involved in strange and mostly meaningless intrigues, most of the participants of which pursue exclusively their own personal goals.

Although all the characters and events in the stories are completely fictional and coincidences are random, in general they reflect some of the phenomena that take place in Russian-speaking diasporas.
