'Nastoyashchee Vremya' caught my attention. From what I've found, there isn't an official English translation available yet. It's a shame because the themes and style seem really intriguing. I checked major publishers and databases, but no luck. Some fan translations might be floating around online, but they can be hit or miss in terms of quality. If you're into contemporary Russian works, you might want to explore other officially translated books like 'Laurus' by Eugene Vodolazkin or 'The Big Green Tent' by Ludmila Ulitskaya while waiting for this one.
I can confirm that 'Nastoyashchee Vremya' doesn't have an official English version at this time. The publishing world moves slowly when it comes to non-English literature, especially for newer releases.
I remember when 'Zuleikha Opens Her Eyes' by Guzel Yakhina took years to get an English translation despite its popularity. The same might happen here. For now, your best bet is keeping an eye on publishers like Deep Vellum or Open Letter who specialize in bringing foreign literature to English audiences. They've done amazing work with other Russian titles.
In the meantime, if you're craving similar vibes, 'The Naked Year' by Boris Pilnyak or 'Sankya' by Zakhar Prilepin might scratch that itch. Both have official translations and capture that raw, contemporary Russian energy.
I was just researching this yesterday! 'Nastoyashchee Vremya' remains untranslated officially, which surprised me given the current interest in post-Soviet literature. The author's previous works haven't made it to English either, making this part of a larger pattern.
What's fascinating is how many great Russian books we miss out on due to translation gaps. While waiting, I'd recommend checking out 'The Secret Life of City Plants' by Polina Barskova or 'The Librarian' by Mikhail Elizarov - both have English versions and share that gritty, modern Russian sensibility.
For those willing to venture beyond books, the TV adaptation might be worth watching with subtitles. Sometimes visual media crosses language barriers faster than literature does.

“I now pronounce you as a husband and wife. You may kiss the bride!” The priest announced and I froze.
I knew I was cursed the moment this blood oath was taken which bound me to hell, the hell of this Sinner.
My eyelids raised to see the ugly creation of god. My husband! Vladimir Sokolov!
His rugged face carved with uncountable ugly marks stung my slow beating heart.
His hazel green eyes held a satisfied dark shadow as He pulled me close, raised my chin and whispered coldly, “From this very moment, you share the crown of Bratva’s pakhan. Prepare yourself to bear its weight, Babochka. Because I own your existence now!”
He slammed his cold lips on my trembling ones, punishing me with a brutal kiss. Tears pricked my eyes with disgust but I tolerated his touch for the sake of my family. My eyes followed the part of the audience, Russians, who burst into cheers while the other party, Italians, looked at me with remorse and pitiful gazes.
Oh yes, how could I forget I was the sacrificed lamb thrusted into hell to get scorched for a lifetime.
But No. I still had the last hope to save myself from this cursed fate, this cursed marriage.

"I don't do business with monsters!" Mino sarcastically exclaimed, glaring fiercely at the lady with a thin cloth covering her face. "So was I with a pathetic human," Vreihya grumbled angrily. They both despised one other's kind because, in their own views, they were both monsters.

"I had enough of this toxicity!" she yelled at him.
"I'm a toxic man, lyubov and I would like to be with you in a toxic relationship and stay happy rather than to be in a healthy relationship and become unhappy for the rest of our lives." he rasped in her ear making chill ran down her spine.
"But I don't want all of this. I want peace in my life." she said disagreeing with him.
"I can't help in it lyubov, you have to bear it even if you like it or not." he smirked at her.
