>>>>Has anyone ever speculated, by the way, as to what kind of soviet writer Nabokov would have made?
Carolyn -
none, or a very dead one.
No speculation required: V. D. Nabokov's resume alone (as one of the leading CD figures) would be enough to deny his son all and any civic rights, above all to be published in the USSR -- provided the family would survive the concentration camps.
After almost 100 years, many Western/American intellectuals are STILL harboring a soft spot for Lenin's terrorist 'proletarian State' along with all the 'creative powers' it allegedly 'released' in the 1920s. How sad.
