The Foundation Pit Itself --$tIndex 330 $aWritten at the height of Stalin's first "five-year plan" for the industrialization of Soviet Russia and the parallel campaign to collectivize Soviet agriculture, Andrei Platonov's The Foundation Pit registers a dissonant mixture of utopian longings and despair. Furthermore, it provides essential background to Platonov's parody of the mainstream Soviet "production" novel, which is widely recognized as one of the masterpieces of twentieth-century Russian prose. In addition to an overview of the work's key themes, it discusses their place within Platonov's oeuvre as a whole, his troubled relations with literary officialdom, the work's ideological and political background, and key critical responses since the work's first publication in the West in 1973. 410 0$aStudies in Russian and Slavic literatures, cultures and history. 606 $aPolitics and literature$zSoviet Union$xHistory$y20th century 615 0$aPolitics and literature$xHistory 676 $a891.73/42 700 $aSeifrid$b Thomas$0991581 701 2$aPlatonov$b Andrei?
