- Summary:
- Marc Martouret, a young banker born of an anti-Soviet Russian mother and a French communist father, carries with him these two enigmatic people whose secrets we will discover throughout the novel that takes us from Lenin's Paris in 1908 to Putin's Moscow in 2015, as well as in the USSR of Brezhnev for the fiftieth anniversary of October 17. The revolutionary epic, its heroes and martyrs, its exploits and its crimes, its many ambiguities, are resurrected over the pages. Three love stories will cross each other and only the most unlikely of them will succeed. All power to the soviets is also a reflection, dear to the author, on the relations between political power and literature. The title is from Lenin and the construction of the text is based on the famous Russian nesting dolls.--Translation of page 4 of cover.
- "Marc Martouret, jeune banquier né d'une mère russe antisoviétique et d'un père communiste français, porte en lui ces deux personnes énigmatiques dont on découvrira les secrets tout au long du roman qui nous emmène du Paris de Lénine en 1908 au Moscou de Poutine en 2015, ainsi que dans l'URSS de Brejnev pour le cinquantième anniversaire d'octobre 17. L'épopée révolutionnaire, ses héros et ses martyrs, ses exploits et ses crimes, ses nombreuses ambiguîtés, sont ressuscités au fil des pages. Trois histoires d'amour se croiseront et seule la plus improbable d'entre elles réussira. Tout le pouvoir aux soviets est aussi une réflexion, chère à l'auteur, sur les rapports entre le pouvoir politique quel qu'il soit et la littérature. Le titre est de Lénine et on doit la construction aux célèbres poupées russes."--Page 4 of cover.
