One day, Zhivago gets kidnapped by a band of merry men and is forced to work as a doctor for them as they wage war on the remaining "Whites"-the dudes who are trying to fight the Communists for control of Russia. They try to live as quietly as possible without letting anyone know they're living there. But the property has been seized by the Bolsheviks (the group of Communists who eventually took over), and since Zhivago and Tonya both come from rich families, they're not very well liked by the Communist Party. When it becomes almost impossible to survive the Moscow winter, Yuri and his family move to the Ural Mountains to go stay on Tonya's old family property at Yuriatin. Meanwhile, the Bolshevik Revolution has taken hold of Russia, and the entire country is turned upside down. But rather than have an affair with Lara, Zhivago stays true to his wife Tonya and heads back home when the fighting is over. Lara's husband Pasha has gone missing in the war and is presumed dead. While serving in the war, Zhivago meets a nurse named Lara Antipova and falls in love with her. Right after his son is born, however, Yuri gets called away to work as a doctor for the Russian army in World War I. While growing up there, he gets married to Tonya Gromeko, and the two of them have a son. The only person to take care of him is his beloved uncle Nikolai, a published social thinker who raises Yuri to always be independent and to think for himself.Īs Zhivago gets older, he leaves his uncle and goes to live with the Gromeko family. His father has deserted him, and with his mother gone, he feels like he has nothing left. In fact, he's just a little boy at his mother's funeral.
When we first meet Doctor Yuri Zhivago, he isn't a doctor yet.
