Bag om White Nights, Red Morning

The Tragedy of Bloody Sunday Left Its Stain Upon the Nation, and Nobody will Go Untested by These Turbulent Times.The year 1905 is drawing to an end, and great changes are sweeping through Russia. The tragic events of Bloody Sunday usher in a sequence of paralyzing national strikes that eventually force the tsar to turn his government into a constitutional monarchy, and it appears that the radical element has finally won.But for Anna Fedorcenko, the tragedy of that fateful day was the slaying of her beloved husband, Sergei. While her loss is painful, it is Sergei's sons who are most dramatically affected by their father's untimely death. Andrei becomes driven to see their father's death avenged, and his boundless energies are aimed toward the downfall of the monarchy. Yuri is also grief-stricken, but he finds he cannot support his younger brother's revolutionary fervor.As Russia plunges from World War I into the ensuing civil war between the Bolsheviks and an army of White Russians comprised of nobility and others opposed to Lenin, the Fedorcenkos are caught in the middle of conflicting national interests that threaten to tear their family apart.
