The epic story of an enormous Soviet apartment building where
Communist true believers lived before their destruction The House
of Government is unlike any other book about the Russian Revolution
and the Soviet experiment. Written in the tradition of Tolstoy's
War and Peace, Grossman's Life and Fate, and Solzhenitsyn's The
Gulag Archipelago, Yuri Slezkine's gripping narrative tells the
chilling true story of an enormous Moscow apartment building where
Soviet leaders and their families lived until hundreds of these
Bolshevik true believers were led, one by one, to prison or to
their deaths in Stalin's purges. Drawing on letters, diaries, and
interviews with survivors, and featuring hundreds of rare
photographs, this epic story weaves together biography, literary
criticism, architectural history, and fascinating new theories of
revolutions, millennial prophecies, and reigns of terror. The
result is an unforgettable saga of a building that, like the Soviet
Union itself, became a haunted house, forever disturbed by the
ghosts of the disappeared.
