Description
An exciting, deep, and powerful adventure novel set during the years of revolution and the Civil War. At the center of the story are the fates of the youth who took part in the Volunteer movement.

The events take place in Moscow, in the North Caucasus, and in Crimea. The novel includes real historical figures: the publicist and husband of Marina Tsvetaeva Sergey Efron, the generals Andrey Shkuro and Yakov Slashchov, the British intelligence officer Sidney Reilly, and the writer Ivan Shmelev. Military, ethnographic, and geographical details are described reliably; the everyday life of early 20th-century Russia is portrayed; historical documents, letters, and orders are used; the folklore of that time is included.

The author of the book, Svetlana Sheshunova, is a Doctor of Philology, a professor at the Linguistics Department, and a regular author for the radio station of the St. Petersburg Metropolis “Grad Petrov.”

The novel “Easter of the Picturer of Birds” was awarded a diploma in the contest of the Publishing Council of the Russian Orthodox Church “Enlightenment through the Book” in the nomination “The Best Book for Youth.”
