Summary
A very dark short story, set in the future, after the so-called American-Russian war, about dependence, abuse, rape and prostitution.
Russia and eastern Europe are full of refugees, the prospects are bad, as the war is not over and diseases spread. People are without home and money, and although there is humanitarian help, it's not enough.
Andrew Granger, a London psychologist, is close friends with Russian Vladimir Saizew and his family. Vladimir is killed in the war, and Andrew visits the Saizews frequently. Due to a lack of financial means, he can't help them - until Elena, mother of Vladimir's children, begs him to take one of her underaged children with him to London, and an idea is born, based on the dystopian laws of the new world.
He takes twelve year old Ivan Saizew to London with him, where he prepares him to earn money for his family in an illegal way...
POV changes between omniscient narrator, Ivan's POV and Andy's. It's going to be short chapters. English is not my native language, I beg your pardon for any mistakes.
