The action of Dmitry Barchuk’s new novel “The Siberian Tragedy” develops in two time layers: historical and modern. Siberia. The beginning of the 20th and 21st centuries. Journalist Sergei Korshunov unexpectedly receives an inheritance. This is how his great-grandfather’s manuscript falls into his hands... The Revolution and Civil War in Siberia appear from a new perspective. Without ideological stamps: red and white. This is a local, Siberian view of the catastrophe. The novel is based on true historical facts, but in its details as a work of fiction it is not devoid of fiction.
