The novel "Darkness falls on old steps", recognized as the best work of the 2000s (Russian Booker of the Decade Award, 2011), is based on the author's family history. Alexander Pavlovich Chudakov, one of the greatest Russian philologists of the XX century, grew up in an intelligent family, will of fate thrown to the edge of the world - in Shchuchinsk, a town of exiles on the border of Russia and Kazakhstan. In the harsh post-war years, under the constant threat of new repressions and lack of the most basic necessities, the main character's family managed not only to survive: like new Robinsons, these people are restoring the lost civilization. In spite of everything, they managed not to become embittered and to remain faithful to their roots.
