His 2006 novel, Day of the Oprichnik, describes a dystopian Russia in 2027, with a Tsar in the Kremlin, a Russian language with numerous Chinese expressions, and a "Great Russian Wall" separating the country from its neighbors. He was awarded in 2015 the Premio Gregor von Rezzori for this novel. In 2016 he was accused by pro-Kremlin activists of "extremism", "pro-cannibalism themes" and "going against Russian Orthodox values" in his 2000 short story Nastya, the contents of which concern a 16-year-old being cooked alive in an oven and eaten by her family and friends. In December 2019, Russian filmmaker Ilya Belov released the documentary "Sorokin Trip" in which he portrayed and examined the writer's life and work. 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine On 24 February 2022 the Russian invasion of Ukraine was re-commenced. Three days later Sorokin published a piece highly critical of Vladimir Putin. In it he compared Putin to Ivan the Terrible and power in Russia to a medieval pyramid. He writes, "the idea of restoring the Russian Empire has entirely taken possession of Putin," and faults the destruction of the TV channel NTV for this opening. "Putin didn’t manage to outgrow the KGB officer inside of him, the officer who’d been taught that the USSR was the greatest hope for the progress of mankind and that the west was an enemy capable only of corruption." For Sorokin, Putin's goal is not Ukraine. It is the dismemberment of NATO and the destruction of western civilization. In March 2022, Sorokin was among the signatories of an appeal by eminent writers to all Russian speakers to spread the truth about the war against Ukraine inside Russia.
