3.0 out of 5 stars 'Kira Georgievna' - An English student's viewpoint, April 8, 1999

By A Customer

I am an English student in London, studying Russian for A Level exams. We have been studying 'Kira Georgievna' as one of our texts, and have found it very challenging. Kira, a sculptress, is depicted by Nekrasov with sensitivity, although her character is by no means one which can be sympathised with. Her relationships with the many male characters in her life show her inability to commit to anything. Her lover, Yurotchka's naivety is taken advantage of, which shows her selfishness and egotistical nature. Her elderly husband Nicolai Ivanovich is a pathetic character because of his infirmity and apparent obliviousness to the way she leads her life. Vadim, her first husband, re-appears to further Yurotchka's self enlightenment, and eventually awakens Kira to her own selfishness. Overall, the book is an interesting exploration of many characters, not least in it's detailed depiction of Kira herself.
