| Summary: | In 1990, after the fall of Soviet Communism, Andrei Sinyavsky went home to Russia. In exile for more than two decades, the writer known as Abram Tertz had suffered prison and oppression for his lacerating critiques of total power in such works as On Socialist Realism and The Trial Begins. This text is a record of an exile's return - both a chronicle of poverty, crime and corruption, and a call for Russian intellectuals to rearm in a new struggle for freedom and democracy. |
