In the Vortex (Russian: В водовороте, V vodovorote) is a novel by Alexey Pisemsky written in 1870 and first published in Beseda magazine's Nos. 1-6, 1871, issues. Initially dismissed by critics of the democratic camp as just another 'anti-nihilist' novel (alongside Daniil Mordovtsev's Sign of the Times and Nikolai Bazhin's The History of One Community, both 1869) aimed at discrediting the revolutionary movement, it was later considered to be this author's most sophisticated works.
Lev Tolstoy praised In the Vortex for its compositional intricacy, while Nikolai Leskov considered it to be the best of Pisemsky's novels.[1]
