  The central character in Ludmila Ulitskaya's celebrated novel The Kukotsky Enigma is a gynaecologist contending with Stalin's prohibition of abortions in 1936. But, in the tradition of Russia's great family novels, the story encompasses the history of two families and unfolds in Moscow, St. Petersburg, and the ruins of ancient civilizations on the Black Sea.
