Soviet Life Through Official Literature

BBC Radio 3
on BBC Radio 3

Four talks in which Mary Seton-Watson introduces selections from the state-owned literary journals.
2: New Versions of Soviet History 'I was 18 and in my hands were the lives of hundreds of peasants. It was 1919, the Cossack communities were in revolt and Braslavsky issued the order, "Dig a common grave for the hostages ..." And I had a terrible thought: is he in his right mind? Am I in my right mind?'
