Iurii Trifonov (1925-81) has become well known in the West as a
writer of Soviet urban life. This study, first published in 1993,
concentrates on his exploration of major events in Russian history
(such as the assassination of Tsar Alexander II and the Russian
Civil War) and their implications and consequences for his time.
David Gillespie traces this interest through all of Trifonov's
writings, from his earliest, Stalin prize-winning period to the
self-consciously modernist later works, in which Trifonov
emphasizes the interconnectedness of human life and history, with
the individual as 'the nerve' of history; linking epochs, places,
civilizations. Trifonov discerns patterns and analogies in history,
and develops a language of hints and allusions with which to combat
the repressive censorship of his time.
