Summary

Larionov. A general of the Imperial Russian Army who mysteriously avoided execution by the Bolsheviks when they swept to power and went on to live a long life in Yalta, leaving behind a vast heritage of memoirs.

Solovyov. The young history student who travels to Crimea, determined to find out how Larionov evaded capture after the 1917 revolution.

With wry humor, Eugene Vodolazkin, one of Russia’s foremost contemporary writers, takes listeners on a fascinating journey through a momentous period of Russian history, interweaving the intriguing story of two men from very different backgrounds that ultimately asks whether we can really understand the present without first understanding the past.

Fascinating book beautifully produce and narrated

I was initially sceptical that I would enjoy this as the first chapter was rather confusing but this a compelling story mixing history with fiction. I strongly recommend this if you have read any earlier Russian literature as this is a worthy successor to Tolstoy, Solzhenitsyn et al. As always Rudnicki’s reading is superb.
