Vasily Grossman in the mirror of literary intrigues

V.S. Grossman is one of the most famous Russian writers of the 20th century. In the pre -war and post -war years, he ended up at the epicenter of literary and political intrigues, miraculously avoiding arrest. In 1961, the manuscripts of the novel "Life and Fate" confiscated the KGB by order of the Central Committee of the CPSU. A quarter of a century later, when the book that was nevertheless released abroad was translated into European languages, world glory came. However, the intrigues in connection with the legacy of the writer continued. Now not only Soviet. The authors reconstruct the writer"s biography, simultaneously eliminating the already prevailing "myths".
During the preparation of the publication, documents of the Russian State Archive of Literature and Art, the Russian State Archive of Socio-Political History, the Central Archive of the Federal Security Service were used.
The book is intended for historians, philologists, political scientists, journalists, as well as everyone interested in Russian history and literature of the 20th century
