The Tragedy of Bloody Sunday
Left Its Stain Upon the Nation, and No Character Will Go Untested
by These Turbulent Times. As the year 1905 draws to an end,
great changes sweep through Russia. The tragic events of "Bloody
Sunday" usher in a sequence of massive and paralyzing national
strikes that eventually force the tsar to turn his government
into a constitutional monarchy, and it appears that the radical
element has finally won. But for Anna Fedorcenko, the overwhelming
tragedy of that fateful day was the slaying of her beloved
husband, Sergei. While her loss is a painful struggle, it
is Sergei's sons who are most dramatically affected by their
father's untimely death. Andrei, the youngest, becomes driven
to see his father's death avenged, and thus his boundless
energies are aimed toward the downfall of the monarchy. Yuri,
the oldest, is also grief-stricken, but he approaches it with
characteristic confusion and uncertainty and finds he cannot
support his brother's revolutionary fervor. As Russia plunges
from World War I into the ensuing civil war between the Bolsheviks
and an army of White Russians comprised of nobility and others
opposed to Lenin, the family of Anna Fedorcenko is caught
in the middle of conflicting national interests. Will their
faith and love be strong enough to help them survive? (c)
