В романе автор стремился показать сходство и различие судеб героев американской «Лолиты» и её русского контрпартнёра. Главная героиня романа «Русская Лолита» с раннего детства была свидетелем насилия, взятничества, беззакония, беспредельной власти партийной элиты и её суверенов - органов государственной безопасности в стране, так называемого «процветающего социализма». Автор поднимает важные темы и проблемы, и в первую очередь это тема любви. Нераздельная и больная, но всё же любовь. На самом деле сюжет романа о клиническом случае с криминальной окраской, но это только способ автора передать свои мысли. За переплетениями сюжета стоят идеи, а не действия.
