During the Soviet era, Irwin frequently visited and corresponded with outstanding Russian cultural figures, such as Vladimir Nabokov, Korney Chukovsky, and Dmitrii Shostakovich. His deep love of the Russian people and their culture has touched the lives of countless students, in particular at Northwestern University, where he has taught since 1966. It is these stories of an unassuming Jewish American from Cincinnati, Ohio who rubbed shoulders with some of the most prominent thinkers, writers, and musicians in the Soviet Union that are presented for the first time in this volume. 410 0$aJews of Russia and Eastern Europe and Their Legacy 606 $aRussian literature 606 $aLiterature and state$zSoviet Union 615 0$aRussian literature. 615 0$aLiterature and state 676 $a891.709 700 $aWeil$b Irwin, $4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut.$01549155 702 $aBrown$b Tony 702 $aGrave$b Ivan Platonovich$f1874-1960, 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910788109003321 996 $aFrom the Cincinnati Reds to the Moscow Reds$93806880 997 $aUNINA
