Title: socialist realism
Review: After reading Children of the Arbat and its sequel Fear one can only express one's disappointment with the last part of the Rybakov trilogy. The ending of the story is utterly unbelievable, the characters are just cardboard figures. I guess only Joseph Stalin himself would be happy with this novel. Dust and Ashes is a fine example of "socialist realism", the genre highly appraised and promoted by Stalin and his accolites (and fortunately, only by them)
