Description
The death of any empire is a sacred event—that is, a mysterious one. In Yuri Kozlov’s book "The Well of Prophets," the collapse of the Soviet Union is treated as a fact of the life biography of its heroes—people who served it in one way or another.
That fact turns their lives into something like a phantasmagoria: both an intelligent KGB man Illarionov and an army major Pukhov feel that every act they commit is predetermined, and that the future is a cipher accessible to some terrible omniscient know-it-all.
In the novel "The Well of Prophets," the omniscient one is the security general Tolstoy. Nobody, not even his comrades from the KGB, knows for sure who he is—genius or villain, provocateur or prophet.
