Critics Review
“Magnus Ljunggren’s history allows us to revisit many lesser-known chapters from the cultural history of Russia’s twentieth century. Like an experienced stage director, in his emotionally charged narrative he shows the interconnections between the history of culture and the struggle for intellectual freedom. The author selects his details masterfully, avoiding polemics and describing famous artists and scholars who, in the face of difficult circumstances, did not betray their ideals. Ljunggren’s book is a valuable witness testimony to the era.” – Fedor B. Poljakov, Professor of Russian and East-European Literature, University of Vienna
