...Sadoveanu's work is not so much the product of a different political system as of a different century. His real contemporaries are not Ehrenburg and Pasternak but Tolstoy and Turgenev, al though he has nothing like the power or skill of any of them. His customary setting is the Rumania of three generations past, a Ruritanian rural province of marshes and forests and rivers aswarm with ducks to be shot, trout to be caught, and canny peasants to be put upon by the local landowners (known as boyars...
...fact that anyone intended to use it against the NSA, which we consider to be the only true representative organization of U.S. students at present. We have a good relationship with NSA and do not wish to undermine it by subscribing to such irresponsible action. Derick P. Pasternak, Chairman of the Board, Association of Hungarian Students in N.

...greater latitude than they have enjoyed since the early, heady days of the Revolution. From medieval times, when illiterate peasants listened spellbound to wandering "reciters," the intellectual Russians have always revered poets above potentates.

In the wave of repression that followed Czar Alexander II's assassination in 1881, Great-Grandfather Joseph Evtushenko was banished from the Ukraine as a suspected subversive...
...national name. Ever since, says Evtushenko. he has suffered from creative schizophrenia ; when he writes love poetry he is attacked for escapism ; when he returns to social themes he is faulted for wasting his lyric talent. The same ambivalence, he grins, marks Pushkin, his idol. His other heroes: Boris Pasternak; Hemingway, "my favorite prose writer by far"; Fidel Castro, whom he quotes gleefully as saying "Art should be free"; and Poet Vladimir Mayakovsky, the explosively original Bolshevik suicide who, like Evtushenko 30 years later, bitterly satirized the smug commissars of his time...
