How did the famous writers' town in Peredelkino begin? What were its early years like? How did the twists and turns of Stalin's cultural policy shape its fate? Anna Koznova's book is a documentary study spanning fifteen years of Soviet literary history, from the early 1930s to 1945. It is built on a synthesis of archival sources and ego-documents: from construction estimates to intelligence reports, from memoirs to suicide notes. Drawing on these sources, Koznova recounts the construction of the town, the formation of the local community, and how Peredelkino's residents survived one of the most tragic periods of the 20th century. Her focus is on Boris Pasternak, Boris Pilnyak, Alexander Afinogenov, Konstantin Fedin, Vsevolod Vishnevsky, Isaac Babel, and other authors whose lives were closely linked to the Writers' Town.
