This issue focuses heavily on the 'Strannik', 'Interpresscon', and 'Bronze Snail' genre awards, presenting nomination reports, full longlists, and background on their establishment. A broad collection of critical essays reviews works by Lazarchuk, Bulychev, Krapivin, Pelevin, and other 1990s authors, balancing non-conformism against mainstream readability. Feature articles examine female utopias in science fiction, Mikhail Weller's literary beginnings, and the quality of English-to-Russian translations. Additionally, the issue includes satirical commentary on the book trade, critical polemics, literary news updates, and a fiction excerpt by Yevgeny Lukin.
