Praise for Leonid Yuzefovich:

"Yuzefovich is an author who knows the value of words and is firmly convinced that there is virtue in simplicity...this is high Russian prose written in superb language, very precise and lucid."--Lev Danilkin, Afisha (Russia)

"Yuzefovich is one of the undoubted and undisputed greats of present-day Russian literature."--Konstantin Milchin, TASS (Russia)

"Yuzefovich's chief merit as a writer may be his astoundingly warm, tender, and at the same time humorous attitude toward his heroes. This is seen particularly well in 'The Storm'...The heroes of "The Storm" are bathed in the warmth of the author's gaze and protected by the author's love."--Marina Abasheva, Fililog (Russia)

"Yuzefovich often takes us to Mongolia. When he writes about that country, he achieves the impossible: he knows and loves it so well and describes it so realistically that he ends up creating his own special Mongolia, a 'Mongolia of the spirit.'"--Dmitry Kosyrev, RIA Novosti (Russia)

"Accuracy and attention to real characters are a distinguishing trait of Yuzefovich's books. His historical imagination has no truck with lies...Beginning with his first success, Autocrat of the Desert, about Baron Ungern, which came out in 1993, he writes about real heroes in real circumstances."--The Village (Russia)
