Leonid Yuzefovich - writer, historian, author of documentary novels-biographies - "The Emperor of the Desert" about the mysterious Baron Ungern and "Winter Road" (Big Book and National Bestseller awards) about the last romantic of the White Movement, General Anatoly Pepeliaev, adventurous novel about the nineties "Cranes and Dwarfs", based on Homer's "Iliad" myth about the eternal war between cranes and pygmies-dwarfs (Big Book Award), the novel-reminiscence "Casaroza" and a collection of short stories "Lighthouse on Hiiumaa".
"Filallin" - "loving the Greeks". In the 20s of the XIX century, so began to call those who sympathized with the struggle of the Greek rebels against the Ottoman Empire or took a direct part in it. Philhellene, like Byron, who went to Greece and died there, considers himself the protagonist of the novel, retired staff captain Grigory Mostsepanov. This character is fictional. Unlike my documentary books, here I gave free rein to my imagination, but my patterns embroidered on the canvas of true events. The action begins in the Nizhny Tagil factories, continues in Yekaterinburg, Perm, Tsarskoye Selo, Taganrog, from Russia is transferred to Navplion and Alexandria, and ends in Athens, on the Acropolis. Among the central characters of the novel are Alexander I, the mystic Baroness Julia Kridner, the Egyptian commander Ibrahim Pasha, and other real figures, but my role was not limited to choosing colors when painting them. Reconstructing the past was not my goal. "Philhellene" is more of a variation on historical themes than a traditional historical novel." LEONID YUZEFOVICH
