Reviews
“This book is a story of a tragic moment in Russian history and that of a very gifted and miserable young person in its midst, with nobody to love and protect him.” – Veronique Lossky
“. . . will rouse interest comparable to the publication of The Diary of Anne Frank." – Prof. Nina Perlina, Indiana University
“Zaslavsky captures the youthful voice of brave, yet terrified teenager who at times, particularly in his digressions on the literary value of the books he constantly reads, sounds like the erudite man he could have become if his life had not been cut short by war.”– Prof. John Bartle, Hamilton College
"Zaslavsky's translation will be of interest to everyone who studies Soviet cultural developments under Stalin. It illustrates well the growing disillusionment with the regime among Soviet intellectuals who writings anticipated many developments of the Thaw period." -- Prof. Alexandra Smith, University of Edinburgh
