  • Inside the Copper Mountain
    kostash doomed bridegroom copper mountain 1 INSIDE THE COPPER MOUNTAIN A thunder of resurrection on the mountain is being announced for me. Smash your fists against despair, hiding within the copper mountain. —Vasyl Stus Because I keep files about dissidents, especially those who were martyred in Soviet Ukraine, I cut his picture out. It was printed in a glossy English-language magazine, Ukraine, from Kiev, mailed faithfully to me for months though I had no subscription. It shows a close-cropped, dark-haired man of about forty, with big ears, a strong jaw, and a dark, bright and mettlesome gaze straight into the camera. He’s wearing a black turtleneck sweater and looks to me like a Ukrainian Marlon Brando from On the Waterfront. I pin this up on the bulletin board above my desk. It’s one of those portraits in which the eyes follow you as you move around the room. He stares at me, I stare at him. His name is Vasyl Stus. I know that he was a poet and a member of that band of young writers in Ukraine called the “Sixties people” whose first novels, first collections of poems, first screenplays blew their hot breath briefly in the 1960s in the thaw after the Terror and the War. I have never read his poetry, and am guilty, I suppose, of hallowing the singer not the song. I do not know what exactly he did that got him arrested. I do not know when this photograph was taken. Has he been to the camps yet? Or is he waiting for the van to pull up in the street below his flat in Kyiv? I do know he died in the Zone in September 1985, somewhere inside that vast complex of penal colonies, prisons, and psychiatric hospitals where, until the late 1980s, the USSR held its political prisoners.
