Plot

The series covers the years 1914-1919. The action begins before the outbreak of World War I. Society is in anticipation of major change. In the center of the story are the Bulavina sisters: Katya and Dasha. The girls share a love for the decadent poet Alexei Bessonov, who changes their worldview and way of thinking, predicting the end of Russia.

The first world war brings new experiences to the serene existence of the Bulavin-Smokovnikov family. After the war and revolution, the ways of the sisters diverge. Katerina Bulavina falls in love with the white officer Vadim Roshchin.[3][4]

gollark: Wow, nginx has many cool features I am not using.
gollark: I mean, GIFs are sort of a video format, but a really stupid one.
gollark: Video to GIF conversion is pure evil.
gollark: Here is the webm version. Ironically, the metadata on the GIF says it was made using a video to GIF converter.
gollark: I should convert it to webm for efficiency, hold on.
