  • 1. INTRODUCTION from Bounded to Juxtapositional—New Histories of the Gulag
    1. INTRODUCTION From Bounded to Juxtapositional—New Histories of the Gulag Michael David-Fox The Gulag has long been approached as a bounded system, a network of camps isolated in the remote corners of the Soviet space. The main metaphor behind Solzhenitsyn’s epochal 1973 Arkhipelag GULAG (Gulag Archipelago) of a vast chain of islands was, in part, intended to bridge the veil of silence that surrounded the camps much like water surrounds enclaves of land. Solzhenitsyn popularized the previously little-known acronym (Glavnoe up- ravlenie ispravitel´no-trudovykh lagerei i kolonii, or the Main Administra- tion of Corrective Labor Camps and Colonies of the GPU/NKVD and later MVD), turning it into a metonym for not just the NKVD network of labor camps but, by extension, all Soviet camps—and later, in its most expansive usages, Stalinist repression writ large. This symbolic meaning attached to the term no doubt helped reify the Gulag as a discrete entity separated from the Soviet mainland. Early scholarly contributions to the history of the Gulag were not only heavily influenced by Solzhenitsyn’s metaphor but often took a systemic ap- proach by treating the network of camps and colonies as a whole. The most significant examples of this came before the “archival revolution” of the 1990s, which was marked by a statistical war over the total number of victims.1 In addition, the history of the Gulag was very much bounded chronologically, largely by the years of Stalinism, since the camps as a mass system of forced labor arose under secret police supervision in 1930, shortly after Stalin con- solidated sole power, and were radically reduced several years after his death during Khrushchev’s Thaw.2 Finally, there was little if any comparison to the history of camps or forced labor in other times and places.

But before discussing their work in detail, let’s begin with the literary concept of doubling. How does it apply to these two writers? DS: Tolstoy and Dostoyevsky, two Russian literary giants, are celebrated for having published some of the world’s greatest fiction. Nevertheless, we would be amiss not to extol the tremendous accomplishments of Bulgakov and Solzhenitsyn who managed to create pioneering literature, despite the nearly overwhelming oppression of Soviet totalitarianism.

    Early History of Spacecraft and Rocketry Fig. 13.6. Tomb of a Soviet rocket pio- neer Fridrikh A. Tsander in Kislovodsk, Russia. An artistic model of the GIRD-X rocket is at the top right corner of the stone. , Tsander was fascinated with interplanetary flight since his childhood years in his na- tive Riga (present Latvia). He graduated as engineer and went to work to Moscow and eventually became the head of the Moscow GIRD group. Tsander remained devoted to spaceflight through all his life. Even the names of his children were in- fluenced by his passion: daughter Astra and son Merkuri. When on vacations at a resort at the North Caucasus, Tsander con- tracted typhus and died in 1933. The in- scription on his tomb reads: “Pioneer of the Soviet Rocketry; Enthusiast of Inter- planetary Flight; Fridrikh Arturovich Tsan- der; 1887-1933.” Photo courtesy of Vik- tor Soloviev, Moscow, Russia. (Katyusha, the nickname of the Soviet solid-propellant missile M-13, literally stood for an affectionate diminutive of the Russian girl's given name equivalent to Katherine.) The M-13 projectiles, or Katyusha's, were 5.1 in. (132 mm) in diameter and 6 ft (1.8 m) long. The projectile mass was 92.5 lb (42 kg), including a 48.2-lb Katyusha (21.9-kg) explosive warhead. The rocket range reached 3 miles (4.8 3 km). Katyusha missiles proved to be 27 highly reliable and were used for many years after the war had ended. The missile also became a favorite heavy weapon of assorted Soviet- sponsored guerillas during the Cold War.

  • Solzhenitsyn: a Political Analysis
    SOLZHENITSYN: A POLITICAL ANALYSIS Jean-Marie Chauvier Introduction IT would be a relief if Solzhenitsyn were really a writer left over from the 19th century, a purely anachronistic spirit, a Great-Russian chauvinist with nothing ultimately very new or very credible to contribute to our understanding of Stalinism or of Soviet history and Soviet society. It would at any rate relieve the Left in the West of a daunting task- that of deciphering a message which, like many others that are now reaching it from the East, fails to offer an echo to the Western Left's hopes or illusions. However, in order to quell a fever it is not enough to smash the thermometer. Even if the diagnosis of "fever" is a plausible one, it still remains necessary not merely to justify this but also to explain how a body of writing inspired by such backward-looking ideas can have succeeded in fascinating, even stirring, by its "authenticity", its "skill in saying what is hardest to say", even those who belatedly discover, with astonishment, what the writer's political conclusions are. One still has to account for the pre-eminence of this body of writing in the Soviet literature of the last ten or fifteen years: the audience, the esteem, even the influence that it enjoys among the most outstanding representatives of Soviet prose and poetry, among the Soviet intelligentsia, and, in general, among Russian readers. And, finally, one has to account for the strange dread which it seems increasingly to have cast upon official circles in the USSR.
