Rogozhin has said he turned to the new genre after theaters stopped staging modern Russian dramas.
His first novel "From Russia To Death" was an action thriller about a Russian military contingent in Angola, and the third, which he is writing now, is a psychological novel called "Why We Do Love Each Other."
The bestselling "My Beloved" (or "My Desired") is an erotic thriller that features an unusual method for discovering who dunnit.

"Alaska is Bigger Than You Think" is the title of a new book by Vasily Peskov, who in 40 years at Komsomolskaya Pravda has collected a host of stories about nature, interesting people and travel.
His human interest stories, vignettes, and photographs are beloved by millions of readers. The author was awarded the Lenin Prize for his first book "Steps on Dew" about his travels in Central Russia.
A generation ago Peskov wrote "Land Beyond the Ocean," a book about rural America. His new book is sort of continuation of that trip and was published in October by Komsomolskaya Pravda.

A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."
These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.
We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.
By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
Remind me later.
