Dmitry Likhachev (1906-1999) was one of the most prominent Russian
intellectuals of the twentieth century. His life spanned virtually
the entire century - a tumultuous period which saw Russia move from
Tsarist rule under Nicholas II via the Russian Revolution and Civil
War into seven decades of communism followed by Gorbachev's
Perestroika and the rise of Putin. In 1928, shortly after
completing his university education, Likhachev was arrested,
charged with counter-revolutionary ideas and imprisoned in the
Gulag, where he spent the next five years. Returning to a career in
academia, specialising in Old Russian literature, Likhachev played
a crucial role in the cultural life of twentieth-century Russia,
campaigning for the protection of important cultural sites and
historic monuments. He also founded museums dedicated to great
Russian writers including Dostoevsky, Pushkin and Pasternak. In
this, the first biography of Likhachev to appear in English,
Vladislav Zubok provides a thoroughly-researched account of one of
Russia's most extraordinary and influential public figures.
