It's the spring of 1868 and Alice Kingsleigh finds herself in a doorway. It is a crudely carved sort of doorway, certainly not meant for the everyday comings and goings of proper society ladies. The promises from the other side frighten her, but she leaves nothing behind, and approaches the possibility of everything before her.

Conversely, it is also April 1927 and Josef Stalin is mourning the loss of his second wife in the centre of a promising bud of the Socialist Future. He knows not how he will continue to find the strength to bring light to the Soviet peoples, but his answer may come where he least expects it.

Broken, Traumatized, Grieved, Pitiful, Stressed, Tired. These were the words that perfectly described the twenty year old Inessa Mironova. How does one's life change in the twinkle of an eye? Well, Inez knows that phrase all too well. Her father stole from their leader. The ferocious twenty-three year old mafia leader, Aleks Piotr. Wicked, cruel, gruesome, you name it. But, a father's love was surely much more stronger than the wrath of a drug lord. To get medicine for his daughter's chicken pox, Pavel stole from Aleks. And because of that grave offense, his daughter was taken away from him, to become the concubine of the Piotr gang's leader. Now, Inez was the shell of her old self. Being exposed to so many pains and torments at such a young age really took a toll on her, and after Aleks beat her up one day, killing their unborn child in the process, she knew she had to leave, or she would be the next victim. Luck was on her side, because her savior came to her almost immediately. The twenty-seven year old Russian-Italian mafia leader, Dimitri Rurik. Dimitri, well, he wasn't really a saint. He was just like Aleks, at least that's what he said. Inez knew what she wanted, even if it meant marrying a man she didn't know, and going to a faraway land with him. As long as it meant that she would be away from Aleks. Away from the pains, beatings and the abuse. She knew that Dimitri was no better, yet she went with him. At least, Dimitri wouldn't beat her up until she miscarried. And, Inessa found out that there was more to life than being Aleks' playtoy. From being a lowly concubine of the most feared gang in Russia, to being the wife of the strongest mafia gang leader in Italy. Life indeed, is full of surprises. New Beginnings, Friendship, Family, Self-Esteem, Positive Thinking, Strength, Anger, War And Vulnerability. All of these awaited Aleks, Inessa and Dimitri, and each of them experienced it in their own way. But most especially, love.

The House of Stilts

Dedicated to the Squats of St Petersburg and Their Inhabitants This narrative focuses on a historical fragment lasting just over a year: from late summer 1990 to December 1991. At this time, what was still Leningrad served as the backdrop for the "Twilight of Developed Socialism" in a single, isolated locality. Sonya, a sixteen-year-old girl freshly graduated from school, makes an impulsive decision to sever ties with her family and move to Moscow to study. Due to unforeseen circumstances, however, she ends up not in Moscow but in the St Petersburg System - the post-Soviet underground with its full spectrum of attributes. This is how the hippie community describes its way of life. Surrounding her is the St Petersburg bohemia: musicians, artists, drug dealers, poets, punks. But, much like Alice in the famous tale of Through the Looking-Glass, it's all just an illusion. Alone, she must figure out who her true friends are, what her goals in this journey might be, and who she sees herself becoming in the future.
