By what methods did the favorite of the dying Empress Anna Ioannovna, Duke E. Biron, decide the fate of Russia during the cold winter of 1739-1740? Why did Count Volynsky and the beautiful Princess Mariorytsa meet a tragic fate? And what hopes and aspirations of the Russian people were buried under the rubble of the ice house - the last cruel royal amusement? The novel "The Ice House" is dedicated to the reign of Anna Ioannovna and has become a part of the golden fund of Russian historical literature. In creating it, the author studied numerous archival documents and looked at the era of palace coups through the prism of romantic drama. Betrayal and treachery, passion and duty, love and disappointment, revenge and forgiveness - all intertwined in this captivating narrative. The writer's reflections on the fate of Russia and its paths of development, on freedom and power, personality and history, far surpassed their time and still hold great interest.
