Leonid Donich-Dobronravov was a successful writer, famous for his anti-clerical works. The 1917 Revolution and the subsequent Red Terror deprived him of his home and forced him into exile.
Memories of the years of the First World War and the 1917 Revolution were written in the immediate aftermath - a defender who opposed the imperial goals of the war, an intellectual who sympathized with the revolution, but quickly lost his illusions - this is an honest and sometimes cruel in its frankness analysis of how Russian society gradually sank into the chaos of violence.
L. Donich-Dobronravov was friends with Fyodor Chaliapin and Leonid Andreyev, collaborated with Georgy Plekhanov, communicated with Alexander Kerensky and other famous politicians, writers and public figures. Their portraits and attitudes to epochal events are drawn in detail and with psychological accuracy
