[lbo-talk] Family, dads, Stalin/Ilya Erenburg

[Chris Doss]

He was an incredibly brilliant writer. Stalin had some
of those -- Sholokhov comes to mind. Quiet Flows the
Don is incredible (the Russian director Bandorchuk is
making a movie out of it now, BTW). His war pieces are
incredibly moving. I don't know what to translate
next, it's 400 pages of brilliance. Probably his
leaflet for Soviet children that was dropped over
occupied territory, his essay "Jews" written for Red
Star (the Soviet, and now Russian equivalent of Stars
& Stripes), the essay "Stalingrad," or one of his
pieces on the Holocaust.

It strikes me as odd that the word "Stalin" appears
almost nowhere, except as part of the word
"Stalingrad."
