Book synopsis

From Tolstoy and Chekhov to Brodsky and Solzhenitsyn, the the definitive account of a remarkable time in Russian literature and culture. With an insider's insight, Volkov describes what it was like to work under constant threat of arrest, exile, or execution. He reminds us of the many artists who were compelled to live as émigrés, and explores not only their complicated relationships with their adopted countries but Russia's love-hate relationship with Western culture as a whole-a relationship that has grown increasingly charged in the wake of the Soviet Union's collapse.
