		The OMON, in turn, are incensed that nine of their comrades may have died to save the life of an army officer.

		As Dr. Omon said, “We should be able to dig into the mushroom industry in a big way,” and judging by the palpable enthusiasm among the participants, they agreed.

		Twenty-two men from the OMON elite police force died in the firefight two years ago in the Chechen capital, Grozny, when officers from one unit fired on another unit arriving in a column of reinforcements, investigators say.
		In addition, according to documents from the prosecutor general's office made available to The Times, OMON and the Grozny-based police had received apparently incorrect intelligence that a group of rebels posing as police would be arriving in the capital that day.
		Koryavin, the acting commander of the OMON unit, lamented that although the investigation officially remains open, the case is likely to languish.

	5.06: Street Cred
		Pelevin, a thirtysomething Moscow novelist and voice of postglasnost hip, captures the absurdity of overromanticizing technology in this clever flashback satire, in which cosmonaut Omon Krivomazov is ordered to kill himself after piloting what is supposed to be a roboticized expedition to the Moon.
		What makes Omon Ra an intriguing read is witnessing the drama through the protagonist's wide-eyed point of view.
		Curious and sincere, Omon ceaselessly questions how things work, hungrily analyzing his surroundings - from the illogically small supply of rations in his spacecraft to the ubiquity of macaroni stars in the cafeteria soup.

		Which is one reason it is such a joy to pick up "Omon Ra," the new novel by the 34-year-old Moscow writer Victor Pelevin.
		In order to make sure he's satisfied, nervous bureaucrats order a soldier to wear a bear costume and proudly take a bullet for his country.) Young Omon Ra thinks his superiors must be kidding, too, when they tell him that his team's task will be to pilot an officially unmanned lunar vehicle to the moon.
		With its potent, quixotic combination of political satire and very real feeling, "Omon Ra" calls to mind both "Catch 22" and "Catcher in the Rye." The book's final scenes -- of the space shot and its doomed men (boys, really) -- is a small masterpiece of joy, blind fear and bravery.
