Tehran – The release ceremony for the Russian novel “Jackals Cannot Defeat the Lion” will be held on Wednesday at the Moscow Bookhouse in Russia, inspired by the life of Qassem Soleimani.
The event will feature works by famous Russian author and producer Oleg Roy.
The book’s writing and publishing process, which was launched by the cultural obsession of the Republic of Iran in Russia, took two years, the report added.
The story is 285 pages aimed at Russian audiences and presents an fascinating account of the martian Soleimani journey from adolescence to martianism.
The book was published by a reputable publisher and became available in the Russian book market earlier this year.
Oleg Roy, who has written over 90 novels for adults, is a well-known figure in Russia, and is consistently ranked among the top five authors in the country based on annual book sales, particularly in the fiction genre.
In a meeting with Iranian cultural obsession, Masoud Ahmadvand, Roy said the novel was made in a way that resonates with today’s youth regarding a relatively lesser known figure in Russia. He added, “The novel tells the story of one of the most notable individuals who sacrificed his life for the dignity and glory of his country and religion.”
Roy emphasized his intention to counter the misinformation that Western media portrayed about martian Soleimani, saying, “I aimed to present the truth about this hero through the voices of the characters in this film.”
The “Jackal Can’t Defeat a Lion” timeline intertwines two timelines. One explores Iran and the past in the present. The story follows American writer Margarita Waldenstein, and she embarks on a journey to write a critical book about General Kasem Soleimani. However, as she delves deeper into his life and personality, her preconceptions are challenged, bringing a deeper change in his understanding.
In addition to Margarita’s journey, the book presents a biopic account of Hajj Kasem Soleimani as seen through the eyes of people closest to him, including Iranian police officer Feresh Karmani Bethani and her family. This dual perspective not only highlights the important role of Soleimani in shaping the history of the region, but also provides insight into the personal lives of Iranian people affected by the broader sociopolitical context.
As readers navigate these intertwined stories, they become aware of the complexity of Hajj Kasem Soleimani’s characters, showing how personal relationships shape perspectives in a challenging era of the Middle East. The book ultimately serves as an explanatory commentary on the complexity of perception, identity, and shared human experiences.
Lt. Gen. Kasem Soleimani, an Iranian military strategist and highly respected Iranian military strategist in the Islamic Revolutionary Guard (IRGC), has left an indelible mark in Iran’s defensive efforts. Born in Kanat e Malek, Iran in 1957, Soleimani dedicated his life to protect the interests of his country. He gained widespread recognition for his important role in leading a successful military campaign, particularly in the battle with Iraq and Syria, ISIS. His extraordinary strategic planning, exemplary leadership capabilities and unwavering commitment to maintaining Iran’s security have brought him deep respect both in the military and in the Iranian people.
General Soleimani ordered immense praise from his comrades and general public with his incredible charm and fearlessness. His determined dedication to protecting Iran’s sovereignty and ensuring its security solidified his position as a symbol of fortitude and perseverance.
Despite facing many hurdles, including international sanctions and political tensions, Soleimani remained an integral figure in Iran’s military and foreign policy. His assassination in January 2020 affected the region by the earthquake, deeply saddened the Iranian people and strengthened tensions between Iran and the United States. General Qassem Soleimani’s influential contribution to Iran’s defense will be forever engraved in the country’s memory and serve as evidence of his lasting impact on the region’s geopolitical landscape.
