The players in Zubok's fascinating study come from all corners of the Soviet intelligentsia, from leftist socialist true believers to right-wing patriots. The result is a thorough, scholarly examination of a vital era in Russian history whose themes of human rights, freedom and dissent will resonate among experts and lay readers alike.
Remington Washington Post Book World A revealing, thoroughly researched and important book infused with elegiac tones. Stalin's Russia had encouraged education and technical know-how, yet its leaders had blindly assumed that the country's intellectuals would remain unthinking, easily controlled cogs in the vast machine of the state. But some men and women born in the s and '40s refused to play their assigned role, particularly after the leader's death in and Nikita Khrushchev's new policies of de-Stalinization and the Thaw suggested a new dawn was at hand Zhivago's children flourished throughout the second half of the s and into the '60s.

Cultural continuity between that period and a lost past is the central theme of Zhivago's Children. Brought up by peasants, she has no opportunity to inherit the tradition of free-thinking, spirituality and creativity that her father embodied. How will she turn out? The novel leaves that fictional question unanswered.
Vladislav Zubok's book shows, with great sympathy and insight, what happened to Tanya's real-life counterparts.
