Russian translations, at least, seem to be very easily googled (html, pdf/epub).

The premise sounds like it could be interesting, but the blurb about 'the laws of logic from many-valued logic of "Summer" to two-valued logic of "Winter" with no intermediate steps between True and False.' is concerning. Maybe something got lost in translation there, but this to me has a slight smell of the way artists sometimes take and run with the artistic gestalt of hard-science concepts that they read and failed to understand a top-level description of (in the style of "quantum computing allows you to compute all possible worlds at once!"), and then presume to lecture scientists on the morality of what they are doing based on that faulty understanding.
