Diary, 1901-1969
A perceptive literary critic, a world-famous writer of witty and playful verses for children, a leading authority on children's linguistic creativity, and a highly skilled translator, Kornei Chukovsky was a complete man of letters. As benefactor to many writers including Alexander Solzhenitsyn and Joseph Brodsky, he stood for several decades at the center of the Russian literary milieu. It is no exaggeration to claim that Chukovsky knew everyone …

Modernism and Revolution
Modernism and Revolution
The period before 1917 was a brilliant one for Russian literature, marked by the innovations and experimentation of modernism. With the Bolshevik seizure of power, a parallel process of drastic social innovation and experimentation began. How did revolution in the arts and revolution in society and politics relate to one another? Victor Erlich, an eminent authority on modern Slavic culture, takes up this question in Modernism and Revolution, a ma…
Art and Reality
in no way detracts from the seriousness and intensity of Isaak Babel's imaginative involvement with the theme of the Revolution and of the society it spawned to say that throughout his brief career, it was the craft of fiction that claimed his deepest and unswerving allegiance. Small wonder that some of his most accomplished narratives bear on the nature and uses of art, most notably, on the relationship between art and reality. The dichotomy of …

The Double Image
Post-Stalin Trends in Russian Literature
Writing about recent Soviet literature is a hazardous occupation. A Western chronicler of the post-Stalin literary ferment is as likely to overestimate an ephemeral trend as he is to miss a significant cue. He must be equally wary of premature euphoria and premature impatience. Last but not least, he has to do his best to maintain a viable balance between literary and political considerations.The latter question was raised sharply by Mr. Andrew F…
The Dead Hand of the Future
In a recent memoir Iurii Olesha, one of the most sophisticated Soviet prose writers, recalls a conversation he once had with V. E. Meyerhold regarding a film version of Turgenev's Fathers and Sons which the famous avant-garde director was then contemplating. "I asked him whom he had in mind for the part of Bazarov. He answered, 'Mayakovsky'."The resemblance between one of modern Russia's foremost poets and Turgenev's harshly antipoetic hero may n…
