This is the first novel by a famous American writer of Russian origin. Its main theme - Man vs. State, Personal Happiness vs. Public Good - is masterfully carried out through the background of dramatic events in the life of Petrograd-Leningrad in the early 20s. The author without any condescension to his characters tells us about that troubled period of our history. A former aristocrat betrays his friends and relatives in his zeal for the new regime. The hero of the Civil War, after all his victories, betrays the party's cause. The main character's love for the son of a shot admiral leads to a love affair with a GPU officer. The knot of problems tightens.
