Throughout history writers have challenged the beliefs and conventions of the society in which they have lived. In so doing they have often risked imprisonment, exile, or death.
What is the position of the writer in the Soviet Union today in this respect? In the week of the anniversary of the Revolution Review is devoted to this subject.
The novelist Anatoli Kuznetsov, who fled from the Soviet Union to England this summer, talks to James Mossman about the position of the writer in Soviet society. Poems, extracts from novels, and statements by Russian writers and officials are read by Christopher Bidmead, Peter Copley, Rosalie Crutchley, Colin Douglas, Margery Mason, Anthony Newlands, Michael Pennington
