- Summary
- An amusing look at the failed coup by Communist hardliners against President Gorbachev in August of 1991. The event is recounted through the eyes of such characters as a Red Army marshall, a jilted husband, a cellist, a soccer star, even Boris Yeltsin himself. By the author of Fatal Half Measures.
- World-famous since the sixties as Russia's most renowned poet and political dissident, Yevgeny Yevtushenko has written an extraordinary epic novel about life, love, and politics in contemporary Russia.
- The attempted overthrow of Gorbachev's government in 1991 is the background for this ambitious work, the author's first novel in over a decade. In this stunning amalgam of autobiography, political thriller, love story, and sharp satirical comedy, Yevtushenko chronicles the lives and times of a large cast of characters, some fictional and some real.
