Opis

This is a selection of papers on Russian literature of the Soviet period presented at the IVth World Congress for Soviet and East European Studies in 1990. The ten articles range from the experimental prose and drama of the 1920s to studies of work by younger writers of the 1980s. The articles include analyses of works by individual writers and examinations of general phenomena, for example, village prose or the way Stalin is presented in literature of the glasnost era.
