Antisemitism and the Decline of Russian Village Prose: Astafiev, Belov, Rasputin – Maxim D. Shrayer
In this new monograph, Russian-American author and Boston College professor Maxim D. Shrayer delivers a detailed analysis of the creative paths of three leading figures of Russian village prose: Viktor Astafiev, Vasily Belov, and Valentin Rasputin. Shrayer’s study argues that these “village prose” writers actively propagated both everyday and state-sponsored forms of Soviet antisemitism. According to the author, the examined writers themselves precipitated the decline of the Russian village prose movement by incorporating antisemitic narratives into their literary works and public discursive statements. The book examines how these ideological currents shaped their creative output and legacy.
