For many years, Alexander Fadeyev was not only a recognized classic of Soviet prose but also a "literary general," head of the Writers' Union, and a champion of party policy in the creative community. Today, if he is remembered at all, it's only to criticize him—for his lack of talent, his involvement in the repressions, his tangled personal life, and his alcoholism, which allegedly led to his suicide. Far Eastern writer Vasily Avchenko, in his research, exposes the incompleteness and bias of both versions of Fadeyev's biography—the "Soviet" and the "anti-Soviet." He reveals an unexpected Fadeyev: passionate, compassionate, generous and often needlessly squandering his energy and talent. A special place in the book is occupied by the native land of the hero and author—the Russian Far East, where, through the trials of the Civil War, Fadeyev was shaped as a person and a writer.
