[1][2][3] The story "The Reconstructor" is written in the genre of a review of the fictional book "The Memory of the Fiery Years" by P. Stetsyuk, which, based on declassified military archives, tells about the real personality of Stalin.
[7][8] P. Stetsyuk's "Memory of the Fiery Years" tells of a mysterious steel tube made by a Minsk radio factory, because of which a series of grotesque deaths follows.
Thus, blatant fiction begins to claim the status of a "real" historical event, and previously functioning documented evidence loses its certifying power and is refuted by new pseudo-facts.
The main discovery made by the author of "Memory of the Fiery Years" after the study of declassified documentation of the Minsk radio factory, which produced a mysterious steel tube, which provoked the appearance of a series of absurdly grotesque deaths, P. Stetsyuk investigated is the proof of the existence of seven of his doubles, living in an underground isolated from the world.
[5] The abundance of versions and assumptions produced by the narrator of "The Reconstructor" about P. Stetsyuk's book only further confuses the reader, distancing him from the truth, problematizing the status of the reviewed text.
