Reviews

This is the first serious historical narrative documenting the institutional history of Soviet literature. The author considers Soviet literature through the prism of politics, the social sphere, and its inner workings, thus seeking to fill a notable gap in the scholarship. It is not only an original but also a challenging work. --Evgeny Dobrenko, author of Late Stalinism: The Aesthetics of Politics
