Moscow Collective - They All Sleep (TAS), #1

Tested in infancy and deprived of sleep, a group of misfits try to figure out what happened to them in the past and why they are hunted by an unknown organization in the present. From 1986 till 1996 a group of scientists in USSR and later - Russia conducted a number of secret experiments with a goal to deprive infants of sleep. That program had no real outcome, was abandoned and forgotten, until years later, in early 20s a number of former test subjects stopped sleeping.
The story is told in a series of interviews with some of those sleepless people that survived recent events, as well as some of the members of a secret organization otherwise known as the Senior Circle whose mission is to continue the sleep deprivation program. During those interviews a gruesome truth about real motives of both parties reemerges. In a torn by war part of the world another war takes place.
It is less visible and concerns different generations that have nothing in common in terms of values and are somewhat similar in their approaches.
