Vasily Grossman and the Soviet Century

Vasily Grossman's 1961 masterpiece, Life and Fate, was suppressed during his lifetime but later recognized as a significant 20th-century epic, often compared to War and Peace. Grossman, a prolific writer and witness to major historical atrocities like the Holocaust and Ukrainian famine, used his powerful anti-totalitarian works to draw parallels between Nazi and Stalinist crimes. This biography by Alexandra Popoff offers an insightful look into Grossman's life, legacy, and the enduring impact of his art.
