[Alexandr Korol]

Question: In the book, you wrote that you recorded many messengers on video using your phone. Tell us, if someone asks you to provide those videos as proof of your words, would you do it?

But, you see, right now... do you see this question? You’re the reader. You perceive it as a question from a real person in your world — a reader — who’s asking whom? A real person, Alexandr Korol, the author who wrote “Alternative History.” And here again we touch on those invisible boundaries. This book right now — and I am its character, Alexandr Korol — is a novel, “Alternative History,” about what happens to me. And the book appears as a book within a book, because there is an author who writes “Alternative History” about an author who is writing “Alternative History.” And if we respect those boundaries, then this is a dialogue with the author who is a character in the book, not with the author who is a person from your world. So, right now, I am the character in the book, and as a character, of course I will absolutely show everything — even before anyone asks — for proof. Why? Because that’s the whole point: this novel is so expansive and alive, especially this opportunity to ask a question to the main character and get an answer — it feels like it’s all a direct interaction with the author, but in fact, it’s just the book. So yes, since it’s all so alive, to bring even more life into it — it would be great to show all those photos and videos. They exist. They will be published once I’ve finished writing all the volumes. Yes, it’s entirely possible all of it will be released, even everything I’ve written today. Once I’ve published everything, I’ll sit on a flying saucer and fly away. And I’ll release all the proof. And then people will be in complete shock. Because they won’t understand — if it’s just a book and all of it is science fiction, then why is it written so strangely in first person, and the author speaks directly to the readers, tells them what he does, how he lives, and it all seems to be about our own time, our own era... then where is the line between fiction and reality? And if he does publish — or has already published — a video with the messengers, then it means he didn’t make it up. That same real author who wrote about the author writing the book... or maybe that’s the whole point: that everyone needs to understand that any person who writes books, writes songs — there’s always something deeply personal in it. Who really knows what Alexander Sergeyevich Pushkin meant in some
