Question regarding a part in the novel (the sentence in bold is the question) . Spoiler In chapter 12 when Artyom asks Daniel about the Kremlin, before going to sleep he refers to Artyom a book about symbols (stars and such)... I've looked on the web and have not found anything regarding Lenin and pacts with 'demons' and the Soviet Union. I'm curious if any books or said details are non-fiction and whether the book Artyom was reading exists. I have read some interesting things about possible Occult connections, but nothing as "strong" as what was in the book Daniel owned.
