Russische winter is een indrukwekkende roman over het leven van kunstenaars en schrijvers onder een totalitair regime, het gebrek aan de vrijheid om te schrijven wat je wilt, te reizen of lief te hebben. Daarbij is het een prachtig portret van intense liefde en vernietigende jaloezie die uiteindelijk leiden tot desastreus verraad. Nina Revskaya was in de jaren vijftig de prima ballerina van het Bolsjoi Ballet, tot zij ontsnapte naar het Westen. Tientallen jaren later woont zij in Boston en besluit haar beroemde collectie juwelen te verkopen om voor altijd een streep onder haar verleden te zetten. In plaats daarvan wordt ze overspoeld door herinneringen aan haar moederland en de gebeurtenissen die haar leven destijds hebben bepaald: haar vriendschap met buurmeisje Vera, wier ouders werden gedeporteerd naar een werkkamp, haar glamoureuze leven als prima ballerina terwijl de Sovjet-Unie leed onder de dictatuur, en haar stormachtige relatie met Viktor, een charismatische dichter wiens politieke eigenzinnigheid grote problemen veroorzaakte voor hen allebei. Haar halve leven heeft Nina haar geheimen bewaard, maar twee mensen weigeren het verleden te laten rusten: Drew, een weetgierige werkneemster van het veilinghuis, en Grigori, een professor Russisch die denkt dat Nina de sleutel heeft tot zijn eigen in nevelen gehulde afkomst. Samen zetten ze een reeks onthullingen in gang die de levens van alle betrokkenen zullen veranderen.

Russia, 1733 There is no joy in the Yuletide season for Ekaterina Romanova. As the empress's niece, she knows all too well the wickedness that lies behind the gilded facade of the Winter Court. But an intimate encounter with a handsome stranger offers her a few moments of escape, and awakens her to forbidden desires…. Andrey Kvasov is stunned to learn that the beautiful peasant girl he almost made love to in the woods is really a princess. If their mutual passion is discovered, they will both be in grave danger—for the cruel empress has designs of her own on the young architect, and betrayal will be severely punished….

The Russian forest was bleak, dark and unforgiving. It was an hour past midnight in this timeless land where the fox, the rabbit and the bear all hid, shivering in the cold wind, waiting for the warmth of the summer sun to return. Even for what was expected of a typical Russian winter, this particular night proved to be brutally cold. An outsider passing through the dense stands of trees would never cease to wonder with amazement how the little creatures of life could survive the seemingly eternal chill. It was a chill whose only loyal partner was silence, interrupted occasionally by the crash of a falling ice-covered branch or the howl of a brisk breeze off a frozen lake. Yet, even the burrowed animals sensed that this night was somehow different from most they had experienced. Slowly but steadily, the eerie silence of the virgin forest was compromised by a rhythmic thumping, the drumming approach of multiple hoof beats. In the aura of a cloud-shrouded moon, the icy breath plumes of the Cossacks' horses gave the appearance of tiny explosions in the falling snow. No words were spoken as the ghostly military patrol crawled eastward in a column-of-twos along a frozen stream leading toward the southern shore of Lake Ladoga.

Cold has long been a fixture of Russian identity both within and beyond the borders of Russia and the Soviet Union, even as the ongoing effects of climate change complicate its meaning and cultural salience. The Russian Cold assembles fascinating new contributions from a variety of scholarly traditions, offering new perspectives on how to understand this mainstay of Russian culture and history. In chapters encompassing such diverse topics as polar exploration, the Eastern Front in World War II, and the iconography of hockey, it explores the multiplicity and ambiguity of “cold” in the Russian context and demonstrates the value of environmental-historical research for enriching national and imperial histories.
