Engineers Of The Soul : In the Footsteps of Stalin’s Writers Paperback / softback

Description

Engineers of the Soul draws the reader into the wild euphoria of the Russian Revolution, as art and reality are bent to radically new purposes.

Writers of renown, described by Stalin as 'engineers of the soul', were encouraged to sing the praises of construction.

But the initial enthusiasm of Soviet writers faltered as these colossal structures led to slavery and destruction, and they were obliged to labour on in the service of a deluded totalitarian society. Frank Westerman sweeps the reader along to the dramatic final confrontation between writers and engineers that signalled the end of the Soviet empire.
