Hotel on the Turah Heights

The end of 1945. War-scorched, plowed by bombs, watered with blood, Europe returns to peaceful life… An hotel on the Turi heights in Austria has been turned into an investigative prison of the NKVD/Ministry of Internal Affairs.

Here, life brings together three people who had never known each other before—a woman and two men. For a short time, their fates become tied into a Gordian knot, which even death couldn’t cut. But one of the participants—a man with gray temples and deeply sunken, never-smiling eyes—knew that in life everything is possible…

A novella from a collection of stories-memories about Russian emigrants who, during the years of the Second World War, fought against Bolshevism on the side of the Germans; about the NKVD repressions in Austria and Serbia in 1945–1946.
