Mozart and Salieri: The Campaign to Combat Deviations from Historical Truth and the Literary Morals of the Andropov Era
29.99 €
The era of Andropov was brief and memorable, but few people know about the then launched ideological campaign to combat deviations from historical truth. Peter Druzhinin, a well-known specialist in the history of humanitarian science, a senior researcher at the Vinogradov Institute of Russian Language, based on both published and unknown archival sources, reconstructs this ideological campaign, building seemingly unrelated events in a strict sequence. The reader will learn how the flywheel of the ideological campaign unfolded: first the party decision, then the guide articles in magazines and the newspaper scolding involving those who agreed to speak on the side of the state; and, as a result, the victims of this campaign are famous writers of the time. Quite unexpectedly, in the center of the campaign was a duel of two colossal figures of Russian culture: Nathan Eidelman, a famous writer and historian, and Ilya Silberstein, a famous scientist and collector. Even people far from ideology were faced with a moral choice: which side they should take.
