Fear

Einmal gelesen, Knick auf der Vorderseite, insgesamt aber gut erhalten.

In 1935, from Siberia to the Arbat, people are disappearing. Millions of "enemies of the state" are being taken away to the prison camps or the firing squads: Josef Stalin - iron-fisted, unyieding - is firmly in power. Now, as World War II nears, the first generation raised under Communism feels an ever-tightening web of fear. Young political idealist, Sasha Pankratov, returning after three years in exile for publishing a political joke in a student newspaper, will face the madness of the Great Purge and see the effects of the reign of terror on his friends in the Arbat. And he will discover, too, who among them will become Stalin's victims and who will be his spies, informants ... and secret police. (Sequal to "Children of the Arbat")
