Reading "Chevengur"

Most researchers consider Andrey Platonov's novel "Chevengur" to be a great dystopia, but there are people who are sure that there was a settlement with the same or similar name, for example, Kuchuguri, and with the same fate. And in general, there is a view of Platonov as a brilliant documentarian who did not compose anything, but only recorded how it really was.
