Fyodor Andreyevich, a brilliant professor of Moscow University, is forty years old and still not married. Teaching, writing articles, reading, tutoring senior students, and jogging occupied his bachelor’s life. He lives quietly in a multifamily apartment in Downtown Moscow. Then he is noticed by a determined woman with powerful connections who considers him a good match for her daughter Victoria, a beautiful nineteen-year-old brunette with large liquid eyes and a smooth manner of talk. The marriage turns out to be blissful, thanks to his Mother-in-law who knows where to go, how to solve problems, and what the key to being rich is. Professor Fyodor finds himself among the elite of Russian society. Then Valerii, a displaced pseudo-scholar, once diagnosed with a mental disorder appears on the scene to ruin the family. Could it be done? Russian Artists, Poets, Movie Makers and Philosophers, love, hatred, death, betrayal and emigration. PUT THEM ALL TOGETHER AND YOU HAVE AN IRRESISTIBLE FAMILY SAGA ABOUT THE INTRICATE LIFE OF A RUSSIAN INTELLECTUAL WRITTEN WITH THE CHARM OF A CLASSICAL RUSSIAN NOVEL. |

Running with Professor Fyodor
Chapter 1
Vic-to-ri-a. A spasm of anguish ran through his body, the sky darkened in his eyes, when he recalled how he used to admire her name, how he loved her, despite everything. Oh, he had never known, he could never imagine that one day the opposite feeling to the woman that once was his beloved beautiful wife, would strike him that hard. It was his own fault. He, a representative of Russian Intelligentsia, a supporter of nonresistance to evil, a spineless worm, allowed the nightmare to grow to this unbearable point. He had to kill the man yesterday, he had to choke him, to crush the miserable villain with his own hands. No judge would ever accuse him, he knew it, the rascal was in his hands, he could have it done, he was ready to, but … Fyodor Andreyevich took a deep breath and shook his head driving the thoughts away. He stood on the corner of Fifth and Washington in a small University town in Oklahoma, shivering under the wind. The wind wasn't cold and the sun was shining softly through the haze, but it was late November, on the other side of the world, Moscow was white with snow, and he felt chilly by habit, like he always did in the beginning of winter. On his left, behind University Park, the tower of the Administration Hall reigned the horizon. Notre Dame in Paris, and Westminster Abbey came to his mind when he saw the tower for the first time two years ago. He never dreamed about teaching at Harvard, Yale, or some other famous alma maters. It was beyond his ambitions. He would be satisfied with a position of professor of Russian Language and Literature at the modest Midwestern University, the position which she, not him, had once obtained. Thanks to him of course.
