On a street called the Arbat in Moscow’s intellectual and artistic center in the 1930s, Sasha, one of a group of idealistic young communists, is sentenced to three years in Siberia for publishing a newspaper.
Set in 1934, Children of the Arbat presents a masterful and chilling psychological portrait of Stalin and details the beginning of his reign of terror and its impact on a generation – represented by a circle of young friends living in Moscow’s intellectual and artistic center, the Arbat. Suppressed by the Soviet Union for over 20 years, Anatoli Rybakov’s Children of the Arbat is destined to rank with Boris Pasternak’s Doctor Zhivago as a classic of historical fiction.
