About this listen

The ending to Sabres of Paradise offers a sober counterpart to the high passions of the previous two parts. The story of a rebellion that even in defeat refuses to be forgotten shifts into the story of a man who, in captivity, refuses to sacrifice his dignity and faces his new life and coming death with grace few can imitate. We count down all the pieces that fall into place as history marches on past the Murid Rebellion. The hostages return to their homes, the Russian Empire consolidates its victories in Ozymandian pride, and mountains still stand. Closing this book felt like saying goodbye to a world we were immersed in for months. We can't wait to return to the Caucasus.

Opening Song: Laudanum by Velvet Cacoon

Closing Song: Dag Lezginka by Oleksandr Nepytailenko
