"Zakhar Prilepin's "Patologii" – makes me happy! Original everlasting uncompromising. Far from any critic."
VIKTOR PELEVIN

"The novel The Pathologists is the first and up to now the only war novel in which the war episodes themselves actually got to me."
VALERIA PUSTOVAYA, NOVY MIR

"Prilepin has achieved the almost impossible: showing Russia and Chechnya from the perspective of the young people who risk their lives daily… And the true value of this novel is that, even under such bloody conditions, many of its characters do not turn into animals even though they cross this invisible line."
