Plot

edit

Moscow Saga shows the fate of family of medicine professor Boris Nikitich Gradov from the mid-1920s to mid-1950s against the background of the history of the new Soviet state. Boris' character represents the old dynasty of Russian doctors. His sons and daughter did not continue in his footsteps, but instead chose other professions. The eldest son, Nikita, joined the military; the younger, Kirill, became a Marxist theoretician; and Boris' daughter Nina became a writer.[2]
