Dead Souls

The plot of Gogol's novel develops in our time. Chichikov, an official from Moscow, this time does not buy dead souls from narrow-minded provincials, but sells them places in the cemetery next to celebrities. History shows that the way of life in Russia today has not changed that much in 200 years, and making money out of thin air by selling places in Moscow cemeteries next to the graves of famous figures, singers, actors, politicians and other VIPs is a modern scam.
