Vasily Yan (Vassily Grigoryevich Yanchevetsky, 18741954) was a
writer of historical novels whose popularity survives the test of
time. He was widely read throughout the Soviet era and continues to
be popular in the post-Soviet era. This book is not just a
biographical sketch of an important Russian/Soviet writer basically
unknown to the Western public. The focus on Yan and his work also
impressively demonstrates the dominant role of ideology in a
totalitarian society, which is not just a socio-economic and
political system of the past, but could reemerge in the future as
ISIS has demonstrated. Shlapentokh shows that ideology and the
cultural and intellectual life in totalitarian regimes are more
complex than is often assumed. Intellectuals often enough engaged
in stressful, but -- in its literary outcome -- captivating cat and
mouse games with censors, the powerful, and the government.
