Hello everyone,
I'm a newbie. I'm looking for a short Russian storybook I read about 14 years ago. It was about a man and his wife fleeing from some armed men who were threatening them. I can't remember the title :(
Does anybody have an idea what it could be?

I also remember them fleeing and crossing a river as well. I believe it's in the thriller genre. I also remember things like they hide in a mountain where it snows.

i remember there was a character with the name 'kenekin' or something too

When you describe it as a Russian storybook do you mean it was published in Russia, or was it by a Russian author, or was it just set in Russia?

As per group rules (big yellow pop up, can't miss it!) we'll also need to know:

- approximately WHEN you read it (range of years is fine)
- the genre (adult fiction?) - sounds like yours is either an YA or Adult Thriller. That should be in your header (can edit - see yellow pop up!)

(A Mod is soon going to insist that you correct your header to include a brief description of the book or its plot - one sentence is fine. Something like "Character named Kenekin(?), fleeing across river to snowy mountains" and then as Len said, the Russian component as well)

Thank you Len, Capn. I've corrected the header as well. Hope it is okay now.
I read it back in 2009-2010.
Genre would be adult thriller then I believe!
Also, I can't remember the author's nationality, however this story takes place regarding Russian people..
