Russian military historical fiction

[Matthew E. Feeney]

Vasilii Ivanovich Nemirovich-Danchenko wrote over 200 books, including war novels, based at least in part on his 
experience and background in Russia before the Russian Revolution of 1917. He lived after the Russian Revolution 
in exile. He was of course the brother of Vladimir Nemirovich-Danchenko, who worked to establish the Moscow Art Theater 
along with Stanislavsky. The story by Vasilii Ivanovich, "Vragi," is set in the mountains, and is one of a set of stories on other subjects in the book 
"Dobrye liudi," published in St. Petersburg in 1896. Like C. S. Forester, Nemirovich-Danchenko wrote numerous military novels, but his novels 
do not make up a series precisely like that of Forester.
