About the book: 1929 / Published in 1929, the novel about the terrorist B. Savinkov “General BO” has been translated into German, French, Spanish, English, Polish, Lithuanian and Latvian. Many years later, when Gul lived in America, he revised the novel and released it under the title "Azef" (1959). “The first place in the novel is not Azef, but Savinkov...” wrote the poetess E. Tauber in her review of this book. – A new man has come, who has ceased to be a man... Azef is just a machine, ideally and prudently working in his favor... It’s hard to imagine a more murderous picture of underground life».
