Description
The Stalin era—1925–1953—is the time frame of Aksenov’s trilogy «Moscow Saga». Three novels cover some of the most terrifying periods in our history: the struggle against Trotskyism, collectivization, camps, the Great Patriotic War, and postwar repressions. Together with the whole country, the Gradovs family—hereditary doctors—go through all the circles of hell.
«The Generation of Winter»—the first novel of the trilogy—covers the period from the 20s to the 30s. A turbulent time, romance of youth, the tragedy of a departing generation, and the first real nightmares born by Soviet power. Stalin paves the way to power, eliminating the army commander Frunze, declaring a hunt for Trotskyists. In this tragedy, both the old doctor Boris Nikitich Gradov and the very young Nina Gradova become involved. And at the end of the thirties, the Stalinist repressions’ mill will devour many others too…
«War and Prison»—the second book of the trilogy—focuses on those terrible years when some died at war, while others died in camps. World War II flares up across the entire globe, drawing young and old, generals and privates, villains and heroes into a bloody whirlpool. Not everyone will live to see victory, not everyone will gain freedom. The chilling details of camp life, and—almost just as unheroic—pictures of war, against this backdrop the personal, very personal, sometimes intimate life of the heroes—Vasily Aksenov remains faithful to his style, and the continuation will not disappoint those who loved the beginning…
«Prison and the World»—the final book of the trilogy. The war has ended, and people have begun to believe that now another free, happy life will start. But the end of the Stalin era is still far away. Everything will happen in our heroes’ lives—everything: the «doctors’ case», the fight against cosmopolitanism (the Soviet version of the «witch hunt»), and the legendary uprising of Magadan prisoners. And it ends on an epic note—with the death of «the great leader of all times and peoples». But life goes on: in the Gradovs family, there is a big joy—young people are getting married!
