1916. War and Peace
14.99 €
The incredibly hot summer of 1912.

The budding poet Vladimir Mayakovsky arrives in St. Petersburg for the first time and immerses himself in the bohemian life. Capital society plots against the Siberian peasant Grigory Rasputin, who has been drawn into the fold by Emperor Nicholas II. European intelligence agencies are plotting and preparing for a major war, the imminence of which is only realized by few. The social elite is raptly watching the Russian national team's first performance at the Olympic Games. Adolf Hitler is painting, Vladimir Ulyanov is writing poetry...

The unusually cold winter of 1916.

The height of the global carnage. Rivers of blood are spilled, vast empires are crumbling. Vladimir Mayakovsky is drafted into the army. His fate is intricately intertwined with those of Grand Duke Dmitry Pavlovich, Prince Felix Yusupov, Duma deputy Vladimir Purishkevich, and other participants in Rasputin's murder.
