Эффект Ребиндера: роман

Babushka Lʹva speshno vozvrashchaetsi͡a iz Frant͡sii v Rossii͡u, obryvaet vse svi͡azi s rodnymi i nikogda ne upominaet o muzhe. Semʹi͡a Kiry pri͡achet fotografii ee teti ot postoronnikh glaz, a Nadezhda ne rasskazyvaet ob ott͡se-svi͡ashchennike dazhe deti͡am. Za vsem ėtim - raskulachivanie, ssylki, delo vracheĭ i, kak ni stranno, li͡ubovʹ, chto okazyvaetsi͡a strashnee voĭny i smerti. Roman stanovitsi͡a bolʹshe, chem semeĭnoĭ sagoĭ, poskolʹku okhvatyvaet istorii͡u srazu neskolʹkikh semeĭ, obʺedinennykh uzami braka, izmenami i tragedii͡ami XX veka. No eshche predstoi͡ala vesna, gastroli genialʹnogo inostrannogo skripacha Isaaka Sterna, chto zanimalo Levu i ego druzeĭ po klassu skripki gorazdo bolʹshe, chem proshedshiĭ nedavno XX sʺezd partii. I khoti͡a v vozdukhe povisli vsevozmozhnye i neveroi͡atnye slukhi, i khoti͡a babushka s podrugami napri͡azhenno sheptalasʹ po vecheram, bespreryvno povtori͡ai͡a imena Khrushcheva i Stalina, vystuplenie Sterna zatmilo vse!Dli͡a li͡ubiteleĭ sovremennoĭ prozy, semeĭnykh sag i istoriĭ obychnykh li͡udeĭ na fone bolʹshoĭ ėpokhi. V tu nedeli͡u shla "Ballada o soldate", Leva khorosho zapomnil, potomu chto pomeni͡al programmu - ne khotelosʹ goni͡atʹ privychnye romansy na fone nastoi͡ashcheĭ smerti i li͡ubvi. On ostavil tolʹko melodii samykh izvestnykh voennykh pesen - "Zemli͡anka", "Temnai͡a nochʹ", i splel ikh proigryshem iz Shostakovicha.

Lev's grandmother hurriedly returns from France to Russia, cuts off all ties with her family and never mentions her husband. Kira's family hides photos of her aunt from prying eyes, and Nadezhda does not tell about her father, the priest, even to children. Behind all this is dekulakization, exile, the work of doctors and, oddly enough, love, which turns out to be more terrible than war and death. The novel becomes more than a family saga, as it covers the history of several families united by marriage, betrayal and tragedies of the 20th century. But spring was still ahead, and the brilliant foreign violinist Isaac Stern was on tour, which occupied Lev and his friends in the violin class much more than the recent XX Party Congress. And although all sorts of incredible rumors hung in the air, and although grandma and her friends whispered tensely in the evenings, constantly repeating the names of Khrushchev and Stalin, Stern's performance overshadowed everything!For fans of modern prose, family sagas and stories of ordinary people against the background of a great era. That week, "The Ballad of a Soldier" was on, Lev remembered it well, because he changed the program — he didn't want to chase the usual romances against the background of real death and love. He left only the melodies of the most famous military songs — "Dugout", "Dark Night", and wove them with a Shostakovich concoction.
