Photo Caption and Credits
The great Russian writers of the 20th century risked their
lives in insisting on moral absolutes to counter Stalin's
use of Marxism. Zamyatin's WE inspired BRAVE NEW WORLD and
1984; Bulgakov's MASTER AND MARGARITA remained hidden for 27
years; Solzhenitsyn risked submitting IVAN DENISOVICH during
Khrushchev's Thaw--each decade has its characteristic
masterpiece.
