The confrontation between the
Wehrmacht
and the Red Army on the
Eastern Front of World War II was
defined by incalculable suffering,
destruction, casualties, and heroism.
While many historians have chronicled
the epic nature of that arena of war,
it has largely been left to Russian
novelists to fully express the intense
human dimensions
ofthat
conflict. Frank
Ellis s groundbreaking study provides
the first comprehensive survey of that
impressive body of literature.
Canvassing a wide spectrum of works
by Soviet and post-Soviet writers, many
of whom were war veterans themselves,
Ellis uncovers themes both common to
war literature in general and distinctive
to the Soviet experience. He recalls
the earliest works in this genre by
Emmanuil Kazakevich, Grigorii Baklanov,
and lUrii Bondarev; presents a long-
overdue assessment of Vasil Bykov s
work, which focuses on the partisan
war in Bykov s native Belorussia; and
brings into sharp focus the powerful
Stalingrad novels of Vasilii Grossman,
Konstantin
Šimonov,
Viktor Nekrasov,
and Bondarev. He also provides keen
insights into the heroic portraits of
Stalin in the fiction of Ivan Stadniuk and
Vladimir Bogomolov and examines three
important war novels published during
the
1990s:
Viktor Astafev s The Damned
and the Dead,
Georgii
Vladimov s The
General and His Army, and Vladimir
Buťs
Heads -Tails.
One of the many threads running
throughout Ellis s study is the dilemma
of the Red Army soldier condemned to
serve a regime that was utterly paranoid
regarding the allegiances of its own
armies, so much so that Soviet soldiers
often felt as threatened by the Soviet
government as they did by the German
armies. Many of these novels reinforce
the now well known fact that Stalin
devoted considerable resources to
ferreting out soldiers whose actions (or
inactions) suggested disloyalty to his
repressive regime. A few of them—such
as Grossman s
Ufe
and Fate—became
battlegrounds in their own right, pitting
Soviet writers against Soviet censors in
a struggle over the public memory of
the war.
Russia s memories of World War II
are forever tied to the suffering of its
people. Ellis s rich and revealing work
shows us why.
