Harvest on the Don, Volume 2This is the sequel to Virgin Soil Upturned, and it continues the story of the collective farm 'Stalin' which Davidov, a Leningrad metal worker, has been directed by the Communist Party to organize in the Don village of Gremyachy Log. Outwardly the process of collectivization appears to go smoothly, but among the cossacks there are some secret opponents, who are hoping and planning for the day when a rising will overthrow the Soviet regime. Davidov is in love with the betwitching Lukeria, the former wife of his communist comrade Nagulnov. He knows that the liaison is indiscreet, but he cannot break it. |
