One of the most dangerous properties of censorship is a collective unwillingness to comprehend the enormous consequences that its actions bear for society. In Russia of the 19th century, it was this department that was one of the main tools by which the state influenced literary life. But is it true that the considerable idea of censors as thoughtless agents of repressive policy and writers as advocates of pure freedom of speech? In the book of Kirill Zubkov, the relations between literature and censorship in Russia of that time appear to be a complex network of interactions that are irreducible to a single -line pressure of censors for writers.
The author explores this subject on the material of several indicative cases related to the activities of two large writers - Ivan Goncharov, who himself held the position of censor, and Alexander Ostrovsky, who often became the subject of attention of the employees of this department. Kirill Zubkov is a historian of literature, candidate of philological sciences, author of the book “Scenarios of Changes”, published in the publishing house “UFO”
