Extractions: Andrei Sinyavsky Beginning in the 1960s, Andrei Sinyavsky (1925-1997), using the pseudonym Abram Terz, published a series of books abroad describing the nightmarish life under Stalin's regime. He was arrested, together with the writer Yuli Daniel, and sentenced to hard labor. He was released in 1971 and allowed to emigrate in 1973 to France, where he and his wife established the journal Sintaksis. Sinyavsky's novels- The Trial Begins (1956, tr. 1961), The Makepeace Experiment (1964, tr. 1965), Goodnight (1984, tr. 1989)-and stories, such as those in Fantastic Stories (1961, tr. 1963), are marked by stylistic innovation and a fusion of realist and surrealist elements. His other works include the prison memoir A Voice from the Chorus (1973, tr. 1976) and Soviet Civilization: A Cultural History Radio Liberty played an important role in making the author's work available to Soviet listeners, broadcasting installments from works such as The Trial Begins.

His monumental A Voice from the Chorus is a depiction of life in the work camp to which he was assigned after his arrest. The bitter and satirical tone of his writing reveals a highly refined intelligence and wit as well as a deep compassion and understanding of his fellow man. An astonishing book. As in "The Magic Mountain," [the] place of action [of "A Voice From the Chorus"] is set apart from the rest of the world, and, like Mann's masterpiece, it reflects upon life and death, myth and Christianity, philosophy and art. Yet this new place of seclusion, where winter also lasts seven months, is like Kafka's "Penal Colony" as well. It is not only in Kafka's world that to be born is to be guilty.

Although sifting through statistics found in prison camp records paints a picture of the magnitude of the forced labor camp network known as the Gulag, the personal stories of the prisoners themselves provide the most vivid portrayal of the immense cruelty of this system. Ever since the founding of the Hoover Institution Archives in 1919, the history of Russia and the Soviet Union has been an important focus of col

His 1966 trial in Moscow for - with Yuli Daniel - publishing abroad "anti-Soviet" satirical stories became sensational. He was sentenced to seven years' hard labour; the occasion marked the beginning of the modern dissident movement in the Soviet Union. He was born in 1925 in Moscow, son of a party official who was arrested in Stalin's purge in 1951. He served as a soldier in the Second World War, survived, and graduated from Moscow University in 1949, a year marked by a new wave of arrests, and strict censorship in arts and literature. For a while he worked at his own university until he moved to the Gorky Institute of World Literature, an arm of the Soviet literary establishment.

As you may know, the original Scarlet Pimpernel is an adventure hero invented by Orczy early in the 20th century, set during the French revolution. This hero has typical super abilities (unalloyed Goodness, fencing, craftiness, bravery, master of disguises) but one unusual and interesting characteristic: an effete persona. His aristo- foppishness stands in contrast to his true vital abilities, but also in contrast with his direct, brutal French characters of the Terror. In my opinion, it was appallingly stupid, not just a form of devolution , but rude on a global scale. Aside from the politics which have proved stupid, it was just bad behavior. During this embarrassing cultural moment, in my little panorama, far from D.C., a few small things happened in counter-reaction. Two, I wrote the local French consulate to let her know that my low opinion of this anti-French gloating. (She wrote back, telling me that everything was going to be okay.)

Click on [RETURN] to return to the text. Many scholars have, in passing, intuitively juxtaposed the Soviet Socialist Realist novel with the formulaic American Western or popular novel. These genres share themes, stylistic characteristics, and parallel evolutions. Their most direct models, Maxim Gorky's Mother and Owen Wister's The Virginian were published at about the same time1907 and 1902, respectively. The era of Socialist Realism ran from about 1929, when the term was coined, to the Thaw of 1956; Geoffrey O'Brien (1981, 137-142) places the golden age of the paperback between 1929 and 1958. The coincidence of so many features of these two "Establishment" genres, suggests that their similarity deserves more than passing reference, especially when they claim to serve such apparently ideologically divergent establishments as those of the United States and the Soviet Union. Though there are important differences between the genres, I will argue, considering the examples of Mikhail Sholokhov's Virgin Soil Upturned and Louis L'Amour's Hondo , that their commonalities are based in the socio-economic conditions which gave rise to them and in the "master narratives" which they emulate, suggesting that U.S. and Soviet state ideologies and mythologies are not at their centers

But while the West gloats, let us not forget to give credit where credit is due. Despite its dismal economic record, Communism was responsible for much of the best writing of the century. This was especially true in the Soviet Union, where revolution brought out the best in Boris Pasternak. Vladimir Nabokov said that had it not been for the Bolsheviks, he would have remained in Russia to become an obscure entomologist. Stalin inspired some of Osip Mandelstam's best lines, including the one that hastened the poet's downfall: "He rolls the executions on his tongue like berries." The list is long; the space is short. So is memory. The end of the cold war means that it will be even easier to forget that both Czars and commissars took literature seriously enough to imprison writers. Andrei Sinyavsky's understanding of this singular honor surpasses irony. Twenty-five years ago, he and his close friend Yuli Daniel were convicted of smuggling their dissident writings to the West. Daniel, who spent five years in a labor camp, died after a stroke last year in Moscow. Sinyavsky served nearly six years behind the barbed wire. In 1973 the author and his wife immigrated to Paris where, he notes, he resides while still "living" in the Soviet Union.
