A novel set during a critical point in Soviet history, whose
protagonists are young Soviet intellectuals, bright but not
brilliant, confronting a future threatened with war and stagnation,
but still with the impetus of post-Stalinist regeneration. It is
not a chronicle of that period's debates between neo-Bolsheviks,
Leninists, social and liberal democrats, Trotskyists, Westernisers
and traditionalists. It depicts a more modest but more frequently
encountered search for commitment, for a meaningful political and
social life, in a vast country where light and darkness flicker and
alternate unpredictably. Although it may be categorised as
political fantasy, the real fantasy lies in the collapse of the
aspirations which drove all the protagonists at the time.
