Summary
This volume gathers short tales set mainly in Muscovy and the Ukraine, with an introductory note that explains the author’s original plan to present Russian Christianity in a more accessible form. It also sketches the Ukraine as the background for many narratives and comments on its land, people, and political grievances. One tale begins in Moscow at the Golden Net, a club known for gambling, drink, and shady patronage, before following Alexis Koslevin home after a late night there.
