Re: Soviet Nabokov?

Excellent essay, James. Grossman is added to my list for future reading. I
can see that if an uncompromising anti-Soviet Russian writer did manage to
survive until the start of the Great Patriotic War, she/he might well become
less anti-Stalin in the sense that beating the Fascist threat became a
higher priority. That choice between two evils haunted Churchill and
Roosevelt, of course, and shaped my own Young Communist League enrolment in
the 1940s.
