Description

Book Synopsis
Illuminates the efforts of Russian satirists in exorcising the ghost of Stalin. Examining works from the 1917 Revolution to the fall of the Soviet Union in 1991, this book reveals how satirical treatments of Stalin often emphasize his otherness, distancing him from Russian culture.

Trade Review
Ryan is unique in her focus on the methods and devices used for satiric distortion of Stalin's image. This angle allows her to examine Soviet/Russian national complexes rather than Stalin as a historical figure. - Mark Lipovetsky, author of Russian Postmodernist Fiction: Dialogue with Chaos
