ln "an exquisitely recreated Moscow of nearly a century ago" , steeIy elegant Georges leads a DlY underground death squad carrying out fanaticaI attacks on Russia's fragile Czarist regime. Based on The Pale Horse, real Iife socialist agitator Boris Savinkov's autobiographicaI novel, The Rider Named Death reveals the web of desperation, desire and duplicity that hoIds terrorists of any era together.
Vanya , a wide-eyed student provoked by principle, Fyodor , a savage nihiIist inspired by chaos, and Erna , an explosives expert driven by her passionate obsession with Georges, are the human faces of Goerges' secret band of turn-of-the-century bomb-throwing revoIutionaries. As their repeated attempts on Grand Duke AIeksandrovich's Iife fail, each member of the group fights to stay alive whiIe grappIing with doubt and strife from within. But the personal vacuum that has driven Georges to an extremist fringe outside of society may prove to be his most potent weapon. Mired in a romantic limbo between Erna and the beautiful married aristocrat he Ioves, and torn between dissoIute apathy and a desire to destroy, Georges must find both a way and a reason to finish the impossibIe job he's started. |
