About This Item
Octavo 18.5x12.5 cm., wrappers, 136pp. 5000 copies. Unattributed constructivist cover design (The University of My Generation) Author David Markovich Khanin (1903-1937) was Soviet writer and critic and served on the board of Molodaia Gvardiia. At one point he headed the Department of Children and Youth Literature fo the RSFSR Publishing House. Research indicates he was known for his work on sexuality in the Revolution and its aftermath, and his alignment with Trotsky on many issues. As a result of his revelations of sexual mores and the Trotskyist leanings, he became a "nonperson" with his personal history erased from Soviet chronicles, and was shot in 1937 after being denounced and all of his publications were removed from bookstores and libraries. Two of his works are located by OCLC in North America, both of them only in microfiche; no other institutional holdings found worldwide. Tracing formation of Soviet power after the civil war through the eyes of a young Bolshevik. Here he mentions Zinoviev, Trotsky, and Kamenev among others who were denounced and their histories destroyed during the years up to the purges. This copy very good, with pasted newspaper photos from 1925 of Ogonek students and others in last pages from prior owner. Rare.
