Description
Sasha “Sankya” Tishin, and his friends are part of a generation stuck
between eras. They don’t remember the Soviet Union, but they also don’t
believe in the promise of opportunity for all in the corrupt,
capitalistic new Russia. They belong to an extremist group that wants to
build a better Russia by tearing down the existing one. Sasha,
alternately thoughtful and naïve, violent and tender, dispassionate and
romantic, hopeful and hopeless, is torn between the dying village of his
youth and the soulless capital, where he and his friends stage rowdy
protests and do battle with the police. When they go too far, Sasha
finds himself testing the elemental force of the protest movement in
Russia and in himself.
