ANDREY SINYAVSKY AND VLADIMIR MAKSIMOV: TOWARDS A HISTORY OF THE POLEMIC
https://doi.org/10.31425/0042-8795-2018-3-199-217
Abstract
The article discusses the complex relationship between the editors of the main third-wave of Russian еmigrе journals, V. Maksimov (of Kontinent) and A. Sinyavsky (of Sintaksis). Based on the correspondence preserved at the Osteuropa Institute of Bremen University, the author argues that this conflict was driven not only by professional or ideological disagreements, but also personal motives. In addition, the letters suggest a third party to this relationship: A. Solzhenitsyn, who would impress his rather strict demands and ideas for running the journal on The Continent’s editor.
