The Dream of the Wolf

The Dream of the Wolf unveils late Tsarist Russia through the eyes of retired clerk Fyodor Karamyshev, whose blind pride in his bureaucrat son's meteoric rise shatters when he discovers the corrupt machinery behind the imperial gold braid. As the old man confronts uncomfortable truths about ambition and morality, this biting satire exposes the rot beneath the gilded surface of Russian officialdom.
