Petersburg
2 hrs. 46 min.
A radio drama based on the eponymous work by Andrei Bely.
1905, the time of the First Russian Revolution. Apollon Apollonovich and Nikolai Apollonovich Ableukhov—father and son. The father is a senator, one of the first men in the state; the son is at once a pampered nobleman, reading neo-Kantians, and a revolutionary, assigned the terrible task of killing his father. Around the two main characters there are many more figures drawn into a tangle of conspiracies and provocations. The scene of action (and perhaps even its main—and most central—character) is the spellbinding, agonizing, unreal, dying city of St. Petersburg, woven out of foul weather, motifs from Russian classics, and above all from the author’s “mind game.”
Adaptation by and directed by Pyotr Shershevsky
