Seven Semenovs

A large novel about a man who chose not to see evil and lived through the catastrophes of the 20th century — from the abdication of the tsar to the Great Patriotic War.  

Not every sight helps to see the world, and not every blindness deprives a person of light.

What will happen to a person who one day decided not to see human evil? Semyon Kostin, the son of a brick factory owner, makes a decision that will determine his entire life, and goes through the collapse of the Russian Empire, the Revolution, and the Great Patriotic War, trying to preserve his ability to love and not become embittered.
