This relentless novel is one of the most forceful artistic indictments of political oppression in the Stalin-era Soviet Union. The narrated story is saturated with facts and motion. The actions take place within three December days in 1949 in different places: "sharashka" (research institute-prison for sentenced specialists), Stalin's dacha, students' dormitory, and at one of the Stalin's magnate's in Lubyanka. A mystery of a diplomat accused of State treason, three-dimensional characters and tangled life stories make up for the depth of real history, give a personal touch to the arguments and doubts about the fate of Russia.
