In Tallinn in 1946 a young boy is transfixed by the beauty of a
luxurious cream-coloured car gliding down the street. It is a
Russian Pobeda, a car called Victory. The sympathetic driver
invites the boy for a ride and enquires about his family. Soon the
boy's father disappears. Ilmar Taska's debut novel captures the
distrust and fear among Estonians living under Soviet occupation
after World War II. The reader is transported to a world seen
through the eyes of a young boy, where it is di cult to know who is
right and who is wrong, be they occupiers or occupied. Resistance
ghters, exiles, informants and torturers all nd themselves living
in Stalin's long shadow. Ilmar Taska is best known in his native
Estonia as a lm director and producer. Pobeda 1946: A Car Called
Victory is his first full novel, and is based on a prize-winning
short story from 2014.
