Slonim M. Vozvrashhenija. Neser'eznyj memuar
| Author | Slonim M. |
| Title | Vozvrashhenija. Neser'eznyj memuar |
| Description | Masha Slonim’s memoir draws attention from the outset because of the author herself - she is the granddaughter of Maxim Litvinov, the daughter of the sculptor Ilya Slonim, one of the figures of Moscow’s cultural world in the 1970s, a close presence in Brodsky’s circle, and the widow of an English lord. Behind this biography stands a large personal story that is closely bound up with the history of Soviet and post-Soviet Russia. Before emigrating, Slonim took part in saving Solzhenitsyn’s archive after his arrest. Later, in exile, she worked at Ardis and at the BBC. She then returned to Perestroika-era Moscow in a different role. Her personal story gradually becomes a story about an era - Soviet life, the dissident milieu, samizdat, and the transformations at the end of the century. The book contains private memory, portraits of well-known people, episodes from dissident life, and a strong sense of a larger historical moment. Slonim writes with ease and humour. |
