The Case of Comrade Tulayev

When high government official Comrade Tulayev is assassinated on a cold Moscow night, a widespread investigation begins to find his killer. This search, set against the backdrop of the Soviet Great Terror, ensnares numerous suspects across the globe, many of whom are innocent of the crime but caught in the machinery of a totalitarian state. Victor Serge's novel explores themes of risk, unexpected nobility, and the human spirit amidst political oppression.
