Soviet citizens took advantage of the new opportunities to meditate on the nation's turbulent history, from the Bolshevik Revolution, to the Terror, to World War II. Perhaps the most influential of these conversations took place in and around Novyi mir (New World), the most respected literary journal in the country. In The Readers of Novyi Mir, Denis Kozlov shows how the dialogue between literature and readers during the Thaw transformed the intellectual life and political landscape of the Soviet Union. Powerful texts by writers like Solzhenitsyn, Pasternak, and Ehrenburg led thousands of Novyi mir's readers to reassess their lives, entrenched beliefs, and dearly held values, and to confront the USSR's history of political violence and social upheaval. And the readers spoke back. Victims and perpetrators alike wrote letters to the journal, reexamining their own actions and bearing witness to the tragedies of the previous decades. Kozlov's insightful treatment of these confessions, found in Russian archives, and his careful reading of the major writings of the period force today's readers to rethink common assumptions about how the Soviet people interpreted their country's violent past. The letters reveal widespread awareness of the Terror and that literary discussion of its legacy was central to public life during the late Soviet decades. By tracing the intellectual journey of Novyi mir's readers, Kozlov illuminates how minds change, even in a closed society. 606 $aAuthors and readers$zSoviet Union 606 $aLiterature and society$zSoviet Union 606 $aReader-response criticism$xSocial aspects$zSoviet Union 606 $aRussian literature$xSocial aspects$zSoviet Union 606 $aRussian periodicals$zSoviet Union$xHistory 606 $aTerror in literature 606 $aTerror$zSoviet Union$xPublic opinion 607 $aSoviet Union$xHistory$xPublic opinion 615 0$aAuthors and readers 615 0$aLiterature and society 615 0$aReader-response criticism$xSocial aspects 615 0$aRussian literature$xSocial aspects 615 0$aRussian periodicals$xHistory. 615 0$aTerror in literature. 615 0$aTerror$xPublic opinion. 676 $a891.709/0044 700 $aKozlov$b Denis$f1973-$01288578 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910786965203321 996 $aThe readers of Novyi Mir$93773853 997 $aUNINA
