Trip to Tashkent. Since then, Grigorenko has taken over one of Koste-rin's favorite causes, the return of the Tartars to the Crimea, their ancestral home on the Black Sea. Because some Tartars may have collaborated with the Nazis, Stalin in 1945 abolished their republic, uprooted more than 200,000, and shipped them off to Uzbekistan and Kazakhstan in Central Asia. The Tartars were rehabilitated in 1967 but, despite persistent pleas, have never been allowed to return to their homeland. Grigorenko loudly decries this policy as a kind of geographic genocide...

He parts company with those moderate Marxists-including a number of American college students-who are trying to salvage what they can from Marxism after its corruption by Soviet totalitarianism. To Djilas, the two are inseparable. For him, Stalin was not a ruthless aberration but the inevitable consummation of Marxism: theory made practice. The ironclad Marxist system is all but useless for historical interpretation, thinks Djilas.

America's first student left in the thirties spent most of its energies fighting the New Deal. The alternative it had in mind to the economic chaos of the Depression was the law and order of Stalinist Russia.
