The Kremlin
When he was fourteen, Michael Strogoff had killed his first bear
Michael Strogoff went forward and took her hand
Defend yourself, for I shall not spare you!
An old man surrounded by weeping children
A detachment of Tartar cavalry appeared on the right
Notwithstanding her age she was compelled to follow the convoy of prisoners on foot
Marfa, seized by two soldiers, was forced on her knees on the ground
The horse of the kibitka fell dead
At a touch from Michael’s knife, wielded in the hand of the Siberian hunter, the sword flew in splinters
