''Life and Fate'' is a 2012 Russian television miniseries, lasting 12 episodes. It is based on the famous 1960 novel ''Life and Fate'' by Vasily Grossman.
The series, like the novel it is based on, is a sprawling account of life in the Soviet Union in UsefulNotes/WorldWarII, specifically 1942-43, during the battle of Stalingrad. The many, many characters include:
* Viktor Shtrum: A physicist, evacuated to Kazan after the Germans came to the gates of Moscow, still there a year later. Viktor is a Jew, who has to deal with anti-Semitism in Soviet society, while worrying about the more dire threat to his mother, somewhere behind the German lines. Viktor is basically an AuthorAvatar for Vasily Grossman, and the actor is costumed to look just like Grossman.
* Lyudmila: Viktor's wife. Although they are still outwardly polite, they have grown distant from each other. Lyudmila has a son by a prior marriage, Tolya, who is fighting on the front. She thinks that Viktor doesn't care as much about Tolya as he does about their teenaged daughter, Nadia.
* Yevgenia: Lyudmila's sister. Married to Commissar Grymov, but they separated shortly before the outbreak of the war. She was evacuated from Moscow to Kuibyshev in 1941, and is working in a garment factory.
