The Face of Fire, Alexei Nikitin
The novel The Face of Fire is based on documents from KGB archives that were declassified in 2011, twenty years after the collapse of the Soviet Union, as well as documents from family archives, from the archive of the Ukrainian Partisan Headquarters, from the “Dynamo” Museum of Sports and the Bundesarchive. It is also based on a legend that endured in Kyiv for 70 years – one that is not preserved in any archive.
