In the Bosom of Communism. A Russian Diary 1918–1921
29.99 €
The present edition is the second volume of the French Slavist Pierre Pascal's Russian Diary, covering the events of 1918-1921. A significant part of the volume consists of various clerical documents preserved by the author and creating the atmosphere of the era - certificates, orders, testimonies, mandates. Equally eloquent are the descriptions of the disasters that struck Russia as a result of the revolutionary events. Hunger, scanty rations, lack of all the most essentials, frozen houses, train stations, teplushki - their description resembles more of a protocol enumeration, in which there is no emotion or evaluative judgments. Pascal, who refused to return to his homeland and stayed in Soviet Russia after the revolution, tries to present all this as inevitable costs that precede the arrival of the socialist paradise.
