Leonid Yuzefovich - writer, historian, author of documentary biographies - "The Autocrat of the Desert" about the mysterious Baron Ungern and "Winter Road" (Big Book and National Bestseller awards) about the last romance of the White movement, General Anatoly Pepelyaev, an adventure novel about of the nineties “Cranes and Dwarfs”, which was based on the myth about the eternal war of cranes and dwarf pygmies known from Homer’s Iliad (Big Book Prize), the memoir novel “Kazaroza” and the collection of short stories “Lighthouse on Hiiumaa”.
“Philellinus – “loving the Greeks”. In the 20s of the XIX century, they began to call those who sympathized with the struggle of the Greek rebels against the Ottoman Empire or took a direct part in it. The protagonist of the novel, retired staff captain Grigory Mostsepanov, considers himself Philhellene, as Byron, who went to Greece and died there. This character is fictional. Unlike my non-fiction books, here I let my imagination run wild, but I embroidered my patterns on the basis of real events. The action begins in the Nizhny Tagil factories, continues in Yekaterinburg, Perm, Tsarskoye Selo, Taganrog, is transferred from Russia to Navplio and Alexandria, and ends in Athens, on the Acropolis. Among the central characters of the novel are Alexander I, the mystic baroness Julia Kridner, the Egyptian commander Ibrahim Pasha, and other real figures, but my role was not limited to choosing colors when coloring them. Reconstruction of the past was not my goal. Philhellenes is more of a variation on historical themes than a traditional historical novel.” LEONID YUZEFOVYCH
