The Operahouse

Alexey Dolgorukov

Who would’ve anticipated the fall of one’s dynasty? While some struggle to find their place in the torrent of history, perhaps, this untamed soul of his could chant out the last screams of an era. Though, he lost. He left, without a trace.

Emmanuel Courtenay

He lived as Gatsby; he is Gatsby himself reincarnated. What more could a wealthy man ask for, says the journalist, but the journalist does not know, that a symbol of capitalism as much as him could be entangled in such a political scandal…

Sylwester Ciszewski

Everyone would be scared of a rogue with a military dagger, don’t even mention a gun he found out of nowhere. Sure, he’s a nationalist. He’d do anything for the freedom of his land, even going as far as “collaborating” with both the German and the Soviet he despised.

Alexey Golitsyn

It is not the time for a civil war, Alexey, tell the Red Army. It is our city we are protecting, our beloved Rostov, the city your father’s generation had sworn to serve. It matters not that you don’t have Cossack blood; you’re Russian, just as they are.
