V Immigratsii

V Immigratsii is a sweeping work of historical fiction tracing the extraordinary journey of a Soviet Jewish family fleeing the USSR in the late 1980s — a time when leaving meant surrendering everything. Told through multiple points of view, the novel moves between tense days in Austria and Italy, where the family petitions for refuge and chases a long-held dream, and the confined days of a present-day COVID lockdown, as they gather to reflect on the life-altering path they once traveled. As past and present converge, V Immigratsii explores the cost of survival, the weight of memory, and the enduring ties of love and belonging — all shaped by an unexpected turn in their search for a new home.
