In Russian Roulette (https://payhip.com/b/OlCy4), powerful figures are stripped of control and forced into grotesque, unpredictable realities — including a man who awakens in the body of the most powerful leader in the country.
On the other, he creates im

THE ARCHITECTURE OF AUTOCRACY by Yevgen Azarenkov
“The first sign of consolidation is rarely dramatic.
It is often conversational.
I remember a dinner during which someone said, calmly and without emotion, “He will stay as long as he wants.”
No one objected.”

Russian Roulette by Yevgen Azarenkov
“On yellow sand, gently washed by the warm waves of the Atlantic Ocean, four men sat in the shade of palm trees, playing cards.
Had any uninitiated observer approached them at that moment, he would undoubtedly have been astonished to recognize the players.

Yevgen Azarenkov Yevgen Azarenkov is an author who explores the limits of identity, power, and human behavior through two strikingly different storytelling styles.

Holding a PhD and with years of experience as General Manager of the Ukrainian division of a global high-tech company, he brings a deep understanding of decision-making, responsibility, and the hidden forces that shape people’s lives.

His work moves in two distinct directions — intentionally.

On one side, he writes dark, provocative political satire.
In Russian Roulette, powerful figures are stripped of control and forced into grotesque, unpredictable realities — including a man who awakens in the body of the most powerful leader in the country.

On the other, he creates imaginative and adventurous stories for younger readers.
The New Adventures of Dzhikoni follows a boy whose everyday life transforms into a series of extraordinary events — from riding a camel to school to embarking on surreal journeys across the world.

At the core of his writing lies a single question:

What happens when a person is placed into a situation they were never meant for?

Whether through unsettling satire or vivid adventure, his books invite readers to question reality, rethink identity, and step into the unexpected.
