Description
A failed portrait artist employed by Soviet censors is tasked with erasing political dissenters from official images and artworks. His life takes an unexpected turn when he receives an antique painting, which sets in motion the events of each story that follows. These interconnected tales bring together a diverse cast of characters, including a Siberian beauty queen, a young soldier in Chechnya, and a ballerina performing for the camp director of a gulag. As the mystery behind the antique painting unfolds, the reader is drawn into a complex web of lives and experiences that reveal the human cost of revolution and oppression. Through its intricate narrative, this novel explores the complexities of life under Soviet rule, where art and politics are inextricably linked.
