Rudolf Maier, a young microbiologist working on a plague vaccine,
is summoned to Moscow to deliver a progress report to his
superiors. Inadvertently, he carries the virus with him from the
lab. When his illness is discovered, the state machinery turns with
terrifying efficiency, rounding up dozens of people. But for many,
the distinction between this enforced, life-sparing isolation and
the constant churn of political surveillance and arrests is barely
detectable, and personal tragedy is not completely averted. Based
on real events in the Stalinist Russia of the 1930s, this gripping
novel, written in the late 1980s and rediscovered by the author
during lockdown - and never before translated into English -
surfaces uncomfortable truths about the current Russian regime and
the pandemic crisis. Includes a new afterord by the author.
