Wikipedia article




'Generations of Winter' (in Russian, ' ' - 'Moskovskaya Saga') is a novel by the Russian writer Vasily Aksyonov.

Many critics have praised 'Generations of Winter' as a new 'Doctor Zhivago'-style, large-scale Russian novel, which tells the story of a Russian/Georgian family, the Gradovs, struggling to survive in the Stalinist era.

As the 'Wall Street Journal' put it: "Aksyonov has ambitiously set out to challenge Tolstoy on his own ground, creating a gigantic historical novel on the grand pre-revolutionary model."

In late 2004 a television-series based on the novel premiered on Russian television. It has 22 episodes.
