Description
In the audio book “Olga Almazova” by Mikhail Fedorov, the story is about Olga Almazova, the wife of a White Guard general Vyacheslav Novikov, who had to endure all the hardships of the Civil War, be imprisoned in Stalin’s prisons—and survive.
Olga Almazova was born in the pre-revolutionary era in the village of Medvezhye in the then Zemlyansky district. Her father, being a wealthy landowner, gave his lands to the peasants, and her grandfather—by his beliefs—was a “Tolstoyan.” The heroine’s youth and adulthood fell on the period when Russian foundations, traditions, and fates were breaking. Russians clashed with Russians in the bloody maelstrom of the revolution and Civil War, and often it was unclear who was right and who was guilty. This book is about decent people of that—gone—generation, about those whose memory was forbidden, about whom we for a long time didn’t know anything. We can only guess how noble and generous they were—how they loved Russia, how they were proud to be Russian, and how they fought to the end for their human dignity, for their homeland. They fearlessly gave their lives for their principles and ideals. And all of them died. Yet they say a person doesn’t die as long as they are remembered. In this novella, Olga Almazova returns to us—and brings with her the storms of her era and the suffering of her life.
