Another possible work could be some of the novels that deal with the Soviet collectivization period. Women during this time were trained in new agricultural and community - building skills. While not a single well - known novel that directly links to the 'Red Book' idea, these works show how women were trained in the context of the Soviet social and economic development. For example, they had to learn new farming techniques and how to manage community resources.
I'm not sure there are specific well - known Soviet novels directly about 'women trained in the Red Book' as the term 'Red Book' usually refers to conservation - related documents rather than a training context in Soviet novels. However, there were many Soviet novels that focused on the training and development of women in different aspects such as in the workforce or in ideological education. For example, 'How the Steel Was Tempered' shows female characters also growing and being trained in the harsh environment of the Soviet Union's construction and struggle.
I recommend 'The Radiant Saint Son's Darkening Chronicle'. This book fits your requirements perfectly. It was a fantasy novel about swords and magic. It told the story of a protagonist who was deceived into becoming the Son of Light and later turned into the Son of the Devil. The plot was tight and exciting. If you are interested in this genre, you can give it a try. I hope you like this fairy's recommendation. Muah ~π
I recommend " The Sea Turtle's Drifting." Although this book was a fantasy-alternative fantasy novel, the plot was similar to that of Crusoe. It told the story of a lonely man drifting on the sea. I hope you like my recommendation.π
One great book is 'Doctor Zhivago' by Boris Pasternak. It's a fictional work that gives a vivid picture of Russia during the revolutionary period. It shows the impact of the events on the lives of ordinary people, their loves, and their struggles.
I recommend the book Iron Legion to you. It was a military-war fantasy novel about the Soviet invasion of Iraq. Although it was not narrated from a historical perspective, the author, Jade Blood, used the plot of the novel to outline the cruel struggle between the Soviet army and the rebel army in the history of that time. The content was very exciting. If you like military novels, this book will not disappoint you! I hope you like this fairy's recommendation. Muah ~π
There is also 'Cement' by Fyodor Gladkov. This novel focuses on the post - revolutionary Soviet Union, depicting the reconstruction efforts especially in the field of industry. It showcases the challenges and determination of the Soviet people in building up their country's production capacity.
I recommend Burning Moscow. It's a historical novel about an ordinary female soldier's personal experience in the Soviet Union's Great Patriotic War. I hope you like my recommendation.π
For beginners, 'One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich' is a great start. It's relatively short and gives a clear picture of a specific aspect of Soviet life. Another good one is 'The Master and Margarita' which has an engaging and somewhat accessible story with elements of magic and satire.
