Quote from an interview with A. Ilyin:
"I like to drive my heroes, and after them readers, into seemingly hopeless situations. And then bring the hero out of life hell alive and unharmed, using not so much his physique and weapons as intelligence and ability to get out of any, most incredible situations. It can be said that my hero is something in between a James Bond and an Ostap Bender".
