Description

Klarova is known for his diptych about the robbery of the patriarchal vestments during the revolution—“The Black Triangle” and “The Destination Station—Kharkov.” But he also has a wonderful cycle unified by a single narrator-character: the antique dealer Vasily Petrovich Belov. He tells the story of things. More precisely, the story of people and events connected in one way or another with these objects. The first is “The Golden Compass.” It is also “The Ring of Lucifer.” That was the name of a case connected to a Masonic relic. Politics, mysticism, spies—everything intertwined there. Spies, as usual, were everywhere. And as in “The Black Triangle,” the events take place during the Civil War… There is no specific description.
