Description
This book is a study of the life and activities of Baron Ungern-Sternberg, a mysterious figure in Russian history. It describes his involvement in geopolitical events in Mongolia and Siberia at the beginning of the 20th century. Ungern wanted to create a theocratic state in Mongolia and become ruler of the East—becoming a symbol of confrontation between Eastern and Western cultures. He was cruel, but he also had idealistic plans to save European civilization. The novel reveals the complex character of this man and tells about his role in Russian history. The author, Leonid Yuzefovich, has extensive experience as a historian and writer, and his work is a unique journey through time and space. The audio edition conveys the atmosphere of that era and the author’s reflections on power and chaos.
