The Solzhenitsyn Reader was reviewed by Zinovy Zinik in TLS March 9, 2007, where the writer’s shabby record, in his exile and returnee phase, of denunciations against liberal opponents is taken as proof of Russia’s failure to “de-Sovietize.” Daniel Mahoney responded in an indignant counter-essay, “Zinovy Zinik and ‘The Solzhenitsyn Reader,’” First Things: The Journal of Religion, Culture, and Public Life (March 12, 2007).

Aleksandr I. Solzhenitsyn, The Cancer Ward (New York: Dell, 1968), p. 433.

Oushakine, “Crimes of Substitution: Detection in Late Soviet Society,” Public Culture 15.3 (2003): 426–51, esp. 427–28. Oushakine’s term for Shostakovich’s ploy is “transgressive imitation,” a “crime of substitution” distinct from deception or imposture that is designed to modify the symbolic structure of one’s society, not to elicit martyrdom.
