An neurodivergent old tsarist statesman (and a cuck) has a difficult relationship with his incel son but takes too long to realize his son's commie friends might be into something. Vivid descriptions of what St Petersburg looked like during the 1905 Revolution.
Next week discussion to cover chapter 2.
