His talent developed rapidly in the comparatively free cultural climate of the first decade of the Revolution and by 1927 his characteristic style and themes were already formed. It was in this year, however, that the Communist Party began to impose its demands on the artists and intellectuals. Leonov's beliefs and values were incompatible with the Soviet version of Marxism but he tried to affirm them indirectly in his work through structure, imagery and allusion, while outwardly conforming to official demands. This manoeuvring inevitably led him into some questionable compromises which in turn damaged his reputation, both at home and abroad. Leonov himself was painfully conscious of the moral dilemmas involved and his later works return again and again to the question: is it possible to compromise without being compromised?There are fourteen chapters in the volume, each devoted to one or more of Leonov's works, setting the successive stages of his evolution against a background of changing cultural and political policies. 606 $aAuthors, Russian$y20th century$vBiography 606 $aCommunism and literature$zSoviet Union 607 $aSoviet Union$2fast 608 $aLivres numeriques. 608 $aBiographies. 608 $ae-books. 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aAuthors, Russian 615 0$aCommunism and literature 676 $a8991.73/42 700 $aThomson$b Boris$01491216 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910780418003321 996 $aThe art of compromise$93712960 997 $aUNINA
