The Big Joker — Nikolay Sidorov
"The Big Joker" is a collection of humorous and philosophical short works. Ironic, piercing, and profound, these masterfully crafted pieces leave no one indifferent. Here, everyday reality unexpectedly collides with the irrational, while the fragile human world reveals its vulnerability and fantastic nature.
Nikolay Sidorov is a veteran of the Special Military Operation with the call sign Lemmy—a volunteer, assault trooper, decorated for his service (he took part in the liberation of Artyomovsk), and survived a wound. But The Big Joker is not about the SMO—it's about peaceful life. A life that, though not war, is still full of experiences, paradoxes, and unsettling moments. For people, tragedy always walks alongside comedy, and life—whether in battle or at home—demands courage, wisdom, and self-irony. Otherwise, you won't survive. A writer who has been to war knows how to show this like no other.
The author's works sometimes make you laugh, sometimes make you think, but always leave an aftertaste—subtle, warm, kind. The cover art is by DaZbasta, creator of well-known graphic works and the DaZbastaDraw channel about SMO heroes and Russian warrior culture.
