The Lighthouse on Hiiumaa

“The main task of my modern heroes—who face this era, and of me myself—is to do something with the past so that it finally stops hurting us.”

L. Yuzefovich in “Kommersant”

In the new audiobook by Leonid Yuzefovich—writer, historian, laureate of the “Big Book” and “National Bestseller” awards—stories from different years are collected, including those connected with the author’s long-term historical research. He meets the grandson of the white colonel Kazagrandi who died in Mongolia, talks about Ungern with his German relatives, feeds soup to a former Latvian shooter, investigates a complicated plot about an Ungern officer’s love for a Jewish woman he saved from execution… The shadows of people long dead come into our lives, and each story from the past has its continuation in the present.
