Two Winters and Three Summers

Radio drama based on the homonymous novel by Fyodor Abramov. This novel is the second part of Abramov’s tetralogy about the inhabitants of the village of Peka shino.

The spotlight is on a remote Siberian village, which joyfully welcomes the year of victory—1945. However, along with the joy comes pain. Trouble entered many homes, and people mourn those who didn’t return from the front. And in the world, everything keeps going… The novel covers the period 1945–1948 and tells of the heroic labor of the village’s inhabitants—women, the elderly, and teenagers—who shouldered the heavy “men’s work” their fathers and sons had left to defend the Motherland and who died on the battlefields.
