Book Description
When Nazi troops invaded her home of Donetsk, Ukraine, in 1941, Tatyana Artemyeff, a 25-year-old teacher, was left on her own to save her two children and mother when her conscripted husband's unit retreated from the city. Luckily, Tatyana spoke German and was determined to find a way to survive the brutal occupation and keep her family from dying of starvation or execution. Decades later, Tatyana's daughter Helen found her diaries in a Connecticut attic, and discovered a unique account of Tatyana's life as a teacher in the Stalinist Soviet Union, the 1941 Nazi invasion of Donetsk, her survival under Nazi occupation, and her harrowing escape to the West. This book switches seamlessly between Tatyana's account of life and death and the story of Helen, her American-born daughter.

Tatyana Repina
Author: John Racin
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Drama
Languages : en
Pages : 296
Book Description
The sensational onstage suicide of Russian actress and opera singer Kadmina in 1881 led Alexei Suvorin to memorialize her in his 1888 four-act play Tatyana Repina. One year later, his friend Anton Chekhov, himself fascinated by Kadmina, sent Suvorin a one-act play, which was in fact a fifth act continuation of Tatyana Repina, with instructions to show it to no one. When the play was finally made public years later by Chekhov's brother Mikhail, it presented a mystery: Was it, as the brother claimed, a parody? Or was the brother simply distancing himself from a then controversial Suvorin? Russian historian and linguist John Racin examines the enormous documentary record to make the case that Chekhov's one-act was written as an earnest artistic complement to Suvorin's. Racin's convictions led him to retranslate both Tatyana Repinas, presented here with additional relevant texts.
