About The Russian Effect

The Russian Effect is a psychological thriller about Elina Sidorov, a woman whose life changes after a stranger saves her in a single, unexpected moment. Years later, she is still haunted by memories she doesn’t fully understand and a past that refuses to stay buried. The story follows her search for answers in a city that only offers more questions.

When she crosses paths with Liam Grey, a CIA agent, both are unaware of how deeply their lives are already connected. What starts as a mission slowly becomes a journey of grief and painful truths. Elina learns that her fiancé was not who she thought he was, her father’s death was not an accident, and the man she finds herself drawn to might be the one who puts her in the greatest danger.

At its core, this is a story about memory, betrayal, and the question of whether we can ever truly escape who we are.
