Here he looks back over his meetings with prominent members of the Russian intelligentsia who from the liberalizing XXII Party Congress in 1961 and down to the present have in various forms struggled with the totalitarian structures of Soviet and post-Soviet society. As a literary scholar Ljunggren has focused on Andrei Bely's novel Petersburg, Russian Symbolism and Russian Silver Age literature and culture. His memoirs reflect on how his study of Symbolism and his commitment to the Russian civil rights movement over the years have stimulated each other and contributed to a deeper understanding of Russia's distinctive character. Ljunggren's gallery of intimate and colorful portraits includes Bulat Okudzhava, Yevgeny Yevtushenko, Joseph Brodsky, Viktor Shklovsky, Lidia Chukovskaya, and Nina Berberova.Studies in Russian and Slavic literatures, cultures and history.Russian literatureStudy and teachingSoviet literatureStudy and teachingLitterateursSwedenBiographySlavistsSwedenBiographyScholarsSwedenBiographyIntellectualsSoviet UnionBiographyIntellectualsRussia (Federation)BiographySoviet UnionIntellectual lifeRussia (Federation)Intellectual lifeRussian literatureStudy and teaching.Soviet literatureStudy and teaching.LitterateursSlavistsScholarsIntellectualsIntellectuals891.709BIO007000HIS032000bisacshLjunggren Magnus700119Rougle CharlesMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910809039803321Fifty-Five Years with Russia3935515UNINA
