The Pale Horse - Paperback

by V. Ropshin (Author), Z. Vengerova (Translator)

V. Ropshin is the pseudonym of Boris Savinkov, a Russian revolutionary, writer, and political figure active in the early 20th century. Known for his complex moral explorations of revolutionary violence, his work reflects the turbulent political landscape of pre-Soviet Russia. Ropshin's writing, especially in The Pale Horse, offers a psychological perspective on the motivations and internal conflicts of those involved in political terror, delving into themes of ideology, existential doubt, and the cost of radical action.
