Eagle's Nest

«Eagle's Nest» — the second part of the artistic-documentary trilogy by Elena Syanova, dedicated to the history of the fascist Third Reich and the fates of its leaders. The action takes place in 1937-1939 — the peak of Adolf Hitler's power, the period from the annexation of Austria to the beginning of World War II. «I received so many documents, — the author recounts, — that this entire period could literally be chronometrically accounted for, providing the text with references to sources». However, the folders with transcripts, reports, and secret wiretaps form only the external framework of the novel, at the center of which is the confrontation between two worlds, the state-political and the private, domestic. A woman attempts to fight against the impending catastrophe. «The paradise and hell of Margarita Hess — the story of a woman who rejected everything for which her husband and brother fought».
In the novel, there is a historically accurate episode when Greta finds herself alone with Hitler, with a weapon in her hands, ready to take the final step. And if only... But history does not have a subjunctive mood.
