We begin with a look at the relationship between Russia and Ukraine, a thread running through Russophone prose and poetry in this period and then move to more general reflections on the function that literature can have in the documentation or exploration of the upheavals that accompany ethnic and political violence in the Soviet era. The reading includes texts by Pushkin, Gogol', Marko Vovchok, Babel', Bunin, Bulgakov, and Akhmatova.
