Most of the talented and famous soviet writers were persecuted, imprisoned, or frightened, if not to death, then to losing their ability to write. Benedikt Sarnov (1927-2014) explores the relations between totalitarian power and the artist in the individual cases of several writers. This book is about Mandelshtam and his relation to Stalin. Stalin released the poet after his first arrest with the resolution: To isolate, but preserve. Also available by the same author: Oprokinutaia Kupel` (1997); Esli by Pushkin Zhil v Nashe Vremia...
