@simonmontefiore I have just finished 'Sashenka' & found the second, Stalinist section especially gripping & profoundly shocking. Well done! Just filled my Amazon basket with items of the bibliography - looking forward to Nabokov...

Replying to @simonmontefiore
In the fabulous '1913' (alas, written in German!) there is a moment to savour: Hitler and Stalin both used to go for long walks in Schönbrunn Park, same times of the same days, both skinny & haunted. Did they meet & greet?
