Showing titles in Russian & Soviet

Many of the greatest Russian authors, including Dostoevsky, Tolstoy, Chekhov, and Pushkin, produced crime and mystery fiction, a type of literature that was largely suppressed during the Soviet era because it did not glorify the state, but rather, gave significance to individual characters. With the fall of the Soviet Union, mystery writers have become some of the most successful novelists in Russia, and there is a renewed interest in, and appreciation of, the great crime classics of an earlier era. This volume is the first collection ever devoted entirely to Russian crime fiction.

Притча Кролики и удавы была, как и большинство шедевров Искандера "советского" периода, написана "в стол", впервые опубликована за рубежом, лишь в 1986 году предстала на суд российских читателей, – и произвела скандал, сравнимый лишь с прижизненными публикациями язвительных сказок Салтыкова-Щедрина.
