STRArHCONA
FROM TARUSA TO SIBERIA
Anatoly Marchenko
Edited and with an introduction by
Joshua Rubenstein.
An astonishing new work by the
author of
My Testimony.
This is the
first English translation of
Marchenko's memoir of his 1975 ar·
rest and exile from Western Russia to
the Irkutsk region in Siberia.
It
is
Marchenko's diary of those days, writ·
ten, as he says, out of a sense of duty:
"Somewhere I read this precept: if
you have witnessed a natural disaster,
a foreign invasion, a subjugation or
the like, write down everything you
have seen yourself or heard from
others; it is your duty to do so."

SPEECH ON THE JOURNALS
ZVEZDA
AND
LENINGRAD.
August 1946. The Central
Committee Resolution on the
Journals.
A bilingual edition, translated by
Felicity Ashbee and Irina Tidmarsh.
Zhdanov's infamous attack on Anna
Akhmatova, Zoshchenko, and much of
the best in 20th century Russian
culture is known to students and
scholars mainly from a few often–
quoted remarks. The speech is a
classic monument of bureaucratic op–
pression, critical obtuseness, and sim–
pleminded, repetitious rhetoric.
