The extensive and diverse works of Vsevolod Nikanorovich Ivanov (1888–1971) are one of the most interesting phenomena in Soviet literature. Many of his works—such as “On the Lower Debra,” “Empress Fike,” and “Alexander Pushkin and His Time”—have long been loved by readers.
The historical narrative “Black People” brings to life events from 17th-century Russian history connected with Russia’s development of Siberia and the Far East.
