The Prison Poems of Nikolai Bukharin
Angebote / Angebote:
Nikolai Bukharin, an original Bolshevik leader and a founder of the Soviet state, spent the last year of his life imprisoned by Stalin, awaiting a show trial and likely execution. During that time, from March 1937 to March 1938, Bukharin wrote four book-length manuscripts in his prison cell. Seventy years later, "The Prison Poems" is the last of the four prison manuscripts to be published. Bukharin organized his poems (approximately 180 of them, written from June to November 1937) into several "series": one dealing with "Forerunners" to the 1917 Russian Revolution and another dealing with the Russian Civil War contain commentary not found in the other prison manuscripts.
