The Meteorologist - a historical novel by French writer Olivier Rolin, based on the true story of Alexei Vangenheim, the head of the Soviet meteorological service. In 1934, he became a victim of Stalin’s regime, was arrested, and sent to a Gulag labour camp. During his years of imprisonment, Vangenheim sent letters, drawings, and riddles to his young daughter. The novel explores human fate, the love between a father and daughter, hope, and the brutality of Stalinist repression.
