Grigoriy Ryazhsky is a well-known Russian writer, screenwriter, and producer, a laureate of the highest film award “Nika,” and an academician…
His new novel “The Colony of the Not-Boring Regime” is a classic family saga—the favorite genre of Russian readers.
The characters’ stories, full of unexpected twists and of blood and fate’s will, are woven together into one intricate tale, despite the characters having surprisingly different backgrounds. How many trials and sufferings, passions and loves fell to the lot of the heroes—contemporaries of the turning, fateful 20th century!
Simple yet strong relationships between parents and children, friends, brothers and sisters, lovers who are reunited and separated, the persecuted and the successful—win the reader over with sincerity and life truth. Finely drawn psychological portraits of the heroes, created by the author, invariably accompany the reader throughout the narrative.
Times change, leaders pass, and only human feelings remain the most important reward.
