Description
George Orwell and Russia by Masha Karp is a thought-provoking exploration of how Orwell's work was received in Russia, and its enduring impact on totalitarianism today. Orwell's writing, including previously unpublished articles, sheds new light on his naming of fellow communists to the authorities in the 1940s, and how his ideas percolated in Russia despite censorship. The book also examines why certain works, such as The Road to Wigan Pier, were never published in Russian. As we continue to navigate the complexities of totalitarianism under Vladimir Putin's leadership, Orwell's writing remains a timely and urgent commentary on the subject.
