Glas. New Russian Writing. Volume 19.Things that Happened

In this issue: Boris Slutsky "Things That Happened". Slutsky (1919-1986) was first published and became known after his death. In "Things That Happened" the innermost thoughts of this clear-eyed tragedian are revealed as he enthused during the dynamism and terror of the 1930s, fought heroically in Russia, Romania, and Yugoslavia during the Second World War, and then became an increasingly skeptical witness to the de-stalinizations and re-stalinizations that preceded the terminal senility of the Soviet system under Brezhnev.
