Intrepid generation

Alexander Lapin's novel series 'Russian Cross' is the saga of an entire generation - a diary that describes the dramatic period of the collapse of the Soviet Union through the twists and turns of individual destinies. Four school friends are the heroes of the series, which takes place in the 1980s. They break away from their shared school days in the then Soviet Republic of Kazakhstan in the first novel 'The Lost Paradise.' This book depicts how these young people must make life-altering decisions in the months and years following the Olympic Games in Moscow. Each of them takes on personal responsibility - on opposite sides of the barricades: 'A fearless generation' that will change the face of their country.
