Plot synopsis
In the series dedicated to the events of 1958, our chronicler tells about the tragic fate of the legendary forward of the Torpedo football team Eduard Streltsov, sentenced to 12 years of hard labor on charges of rape. Svanidze compares the Streltsov case with the persecution of Boris Pasternak in the same year, 1958, in connection with the publication of the novel Doctor Zhivago in Italy and the awarding of the Nobel Prize in Literature to Boris Leonidovich. Using the example of the fates of these two different people, unfamiliar with each other and in no way connected, Svanidze gives an assessment of Khrushchev's "thaw" and its difference from the customs of the Stalinist era.
