Inhaltsangabe

Konstantin Andrelovich Skvorecky was one of a group of Russian SF writers called together by Josef Stalin in 1946. Stalin, convinced that the defeat of America was only a few years away, needed a new enemy for Communism to unite against. Skvorecky and the others were tasked with creating a convincing alien threat; a story of imminent disaster that could be told to the Soviet people.
And then after many months of diligent work the writers were told to stop and, on pain of death, to forget everything; everything they had imagined, everything that had happened, ever being asked.
Little is known of what happened to the writers subsequently but in 1986 Skvorecky made a dramatic reappearance at Chernobyl claiming that everything that he and the others had written was coming true.
His assertion was widely disbelieved but Skvorecky claimed (tastelessly, many believe) that the Chernobyl disaster and the destruction of the Challenger space shuttle conformed to the pattern set by Stalin's scenario.
Skvorecky believes the alien invasion is ongoing.
