Yuzefovich is a historian who first became known for his biography of R.F. Ungern-Sternberg, the "Dictator of Mongolia," but became famous with his historical thrillers about Ivan Putilin, the first volume of which became a TV mini-series and the third of which received the National Bestseller Award.
