Description
Vladimir Sharov, historian and novelist, is not afraid to present history as an exciting performance—a game of meanings and allusions, above all biblical ones. His personal theme is the Stalin era—the time of great ideas and great passions.
“Little Old Girl” Vera Radostina, a convinced communist and the wife of a Stalin-era people’s commissar, loses everything—her husband, executed in 1937, her children, her home… Deciding to put an end to the fate prepared for her, she begins to “live backwards”: day by day, folding up her former life like a carpet. Milestones along this long path are the detailed diary entries she kept daily since the age of five.
