Story: The protagonist of The Man of the Retinue is a figure from the 1970s—a type that has always existed. Such people actively shape near-ritualistic relationships between management and staff, serving as the glue of any hierarchical structure. Mitya, the main character, once gained proximity to the inner circle, allowed to drink tea in the director’s reception area. Then, unexpectedly and without motive, he is cast out by the “empress”—the director’s secretary.
