DNF @ 10%. I'm waving the white flag. Every time I pick this up it takes me a shocking amount of time to figure out who is talking - Russian names/nicknames are unnecessarily difficult. So far the story is just the sad state of Russia and sad family squabbling. I'm not rating this because I'll try again next year with a physical copy and we'll see.
