Akopyan, K. Z. Staliniana in the Light of Sufferings of a Creative
Personality: Thinking about Benedikt Sarnov’s Book
‘Stalin and Writers’
Abstract:
The article represents the author’s thoughts
on and about a four-volume book written by Benedikt
Sarnov. Giving a high approval of this fundamental
work, the author of the article tries to define the genre the
book is written in. As a result, he finds not only literature
features, but also signs of cultural studies, historical and
cultural research as well as a novel, many-act tragedy,
detective, guidelines in history and Russian culture of
1920–1950th in general and literature in particular.
The center of the author’s discussion is the question
about the nature and peculiarities of Staliniana. Based
on the author Staliniana is a very complex cultural
phenomenon which has played a very negative and even
destroying role for the Russian culture. Such discussion
is topical because it does not only still remain in modern
Russian culture but it has also been very like to retain
many of its features lately.
Keywords:
cultural studies, culture, literary studies, Iosif Stalin, staliniana, literature, politics, ear, history.
