Sergei Tretyakov

The book explores the life and legacy of Sergei Tretyakov, an artist and intellectual whose contributions remain largely unacknowledged despite his significant impact in the early twentieth century. It delves into his mysterious persona and the harsh realities he faced as a victim of Stalin's Great Terror, where he was labeled an 'enemy of the people.' His works were systematically erased from history, and his name became taboo, prompting an investigation into the reasons behind his obscurity and the broader implications of political repression on artistic expression.
