Description
Love Koltsova in the novel with the cumbersome title “The Passion of Destruction, or the Life of a Hereditary Nobleman, a State Criminal, and the First Russian Anarchist Mikhail Bakunin” (“Moscow” No. 11, 12, 2000) writes sometimes utterly surprising things. First, it’s impossible to understand what made Ms. Koltsova choose as the main character a person whom she feels not only the slightest sympathy for, but—apparently—even elementary research interest. Second, it’s unclear what pushed her to write a historical novel if all the author’s reflections boil down to rehashing well-known, textbook-simplified ideological assessments of Bakunin as an opponent of Marx–Engels–Lenin in theory and practice of revolution. Third, the author is so lacking in a sense of the era that she fills the text with constant stylistic blunders (allowing, for example, the characters—educated people with decent upbringing—to call each other “Lekha” or “Mishka”). And finally, purely as a woman novelists do, the writer focuses too much on the erotic side of the depicted circle of life—so that truly new things are revealed only in the form of revelations about Belinsky’s secret flings and other historical figures.
