This book by Irina Vladimirovna Golovkina (1904–1989), granddaughter of the great Russian composer Nikolai Andreevich Rimsky-Korsakov, is a work of rare power, depth, and sincerity. It is a story of individuals who accomplished a feat of honor, a truly tragic chronicle of several aristocratic families who remained in Russia after the Revolution and Civil War and found themselves in the depths of repression. The novel is imbued with the bitter poetry of people defeated (hence its second title) but who did not surrender—in the most difficult circumstances, they retain their dignity and ideals, their almost mystical love for their homeland. This is not simply a testimony to the past, but a story of feelings, loyalty, betrayal, and perseverance—a living life with all its joys and sorrows. First published in the early 1990s, after the author's death, the novel has become a true bibliographic rarity. This bittersweet and majestic family saga will undoubtedly capture the hearts and souls of millions of readers.
