About the book: year / ... Before us is a book that two or three people in Kabardino-Balkaria read, but many have heard about it - "Country of Prometheus", written white emigrant Konstantin Chkheidze, published more than 70 years ago in distant Shanghai and currently none of the libraries in Russia or Europe has it. Before us is a bright and poignant story about the people of Kabarda and Balkaria, their mentality, way of life and spiritual values ; an excited story about nature and the sights of the mountain region. This is a kind of hymn to the pre-revolutionary air of Kabarda and Balkaria, to the mountaineers who have a unique concept of “nape”, which the author yearns for in 1930, writing pages about the fratricidal war in the Caucasus, the war where he was an adjutant to Z. Dautokov-Serebryakov.K. Chkheidze is trying to be objective - it is not some abstract people who are fighting each other to the death, but those whom he knows, whose etiquette he respects, with whom he has eaten bread and salt. Through all the words, descriptions and reasoning, the pain of Prince Konstantin Aleksandrovich Chkheidze about the destruction of personality, about the killing of humanity in a person, born from a community of suffering, shines through. The author, endowed with an extraordinary literary style and great love for our common homeland, out of the pain of his heart “blinded” “The Country of Prometheus”, which will make more than one reader’s heart tremble. The heroes of this amazing story are real people, recognizable, with specific destinies, whose names we tried to reveal it by tracing their fates through documents, which gives the book a special flavor. As well as the story about the fate of its author - an outstanding figure of the Russian diaspora, a great writer, a profound philosopher, one of the founders of Eurasianism.
