The book by Irina Vladimirovna Golovkina (1904-1989), granddaughter of the great Russian composer Nikolai Andreyevich Rimsky-Korsakov, is a work of rare power, depth and sincerity. This is a tale of people who made a feat of honor, a truly tragic chronicle of several aristocratic families who did not leave Russia after the revolution and the Civil War and got into the thick of repression. The novel is imbued with the bitter poetry of people defeated (hence its second title), but not surrendered - in the most difficult circumstances, they retain their dignity and ideals, their almost mystical love for the Motherland. This is not just a testimony to the past, but a story of feelings, loyalty, betrayal, steadfastness - a living life with all its joys and sorrows. The novel was first published in the early 1990s after the death of the author and became a real bibliographic rarity. This bitter and majestic family saga will undoubtedly win the hearts and souls of millions of readers.
