Flowers with Scars. The Fates of Women in Russian History. Betrayal, Friendship, Violence, and Love

Vasily Gavrilenko, historian, writer, journalist, and author of a popular blog on Zen, will tell about the fates of Russian women that will take you through layers of time into real historical events from Ancient Russia to the twilight of the Russian Empire. History has long been focused on men. But times are changing, and the lives of peasant women, merchants, and noblewomen paint the true Russian story. This book will not leave you indifferent. For on the dark canvas of violence, cruelty, and roughness of women's fate, true nobility, friendship, and love are most vividly seen. Lives that resemble movie scripts, dramas that seem impossible to survive. Happy love and noble deeds that give hope for a better future.
