Alonzo to make his name? At the opening of a New York-style night club on Red Square, the free libations are flowing, the floor show is raunchy, and all of expat Moscow is wheeling and dealing. But things are never what they seem in this new post-Soviet country striving for freedom, democracy and ... whatever - and falling far short. In fact, these party-goers will soon have a life-or-death national crisis blow up in their faces.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRecalling the techniques of Hunter S.

By the time it's over, army tanks will shell the parliament building (aka \"White House\"), reducing it to a burned-out husk. And a hung-over Alonzo is right in the middle of it, dodging bullets like everyone else. All this and a Michael Jackson concert! \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBlending horror and farce, mashing up Jay McInerney's \u003cem\u003eBright Lights Big City\u003c\/em\u003e and Venedikt Erofeyev's \u003cem\u003eMoscow to the End of the Line \u003c\/em\u003e(with a real-life armed insurrection thrown in), \u003cem\u003eMoscow '93\u003c\/em\u003e presents Russia in the first decade after communism through the lens of a sordid expat scene.
