Overview

Vitebskii (pronounced Veet-ebsk) is the story of a middle class Jewish family during the years leading up to the Russian Revolution. It starts during the late nineteenth century leading up to the Revolution and the years after it they decide to immigrant to America, in the process, losing their eldest son, a doctor, who has become caught up in the fever of the Bolshevik imperative and refuses to leave. In contrast is the story of the last ruler of the Russian Empire, Tsar Nicholas II. At the turn of the twentieth century, the Empire was beginning to tremble on a shaky foundation of monarchist rule led by a weak monarch and recounts their tragic end in front of a firing squad. The historic facts are verifiable, the personal ones are woven from family stories, historiea and the author's imagination.
