Product Information
For those living in the Soviet Union, Orwell's masterpieces, Animal Farm and Nineteen Eighty-Four, were not dystopias, but accurate depictions of reality. Here, Masha Karp, Russian Features Editor at the BBC World Service for over a decade, explores how Orwell's work was received in Russia, Suggesting a new approach to the controversial 'Orwell's list' of 1949, Karp puts into context the articles and letters written by Orwell at the time. She also sheds light on how many of the ideas of totalitarianism exposed in Orwell's writing took root in Russia. As Vladimir Putin's actions continue to shock the West, it is clear we are witnessing the next transformation of totalitarianism, as described by Orwell. Now, over 70 years after Orwell's death, his writing, at least as far as Russia is concerned, remains as timely and urgent as it has ever been.

Reviews
"In George Orwell and Russia , Masha Karp explores the relationship between totalitarianism, as imagined by Orwell, and totalitarianism, as it really existed in Soviet Russia. As Russia slides backwards into a new form of authoritarian dictatorship, this book is a timely reminder of what came before." --Anne Applebaum, Staff writer for The Atlantic and author of 'Gulag, A History' "Karp's Russian view of Orwell is unorthodox and makes a novel case for the continuing relevance of this controversial writer in the age of Putin." --Michael Scammell, Author of 'Koestler: The Literary and Political Odyssey of a Twentieth Century Skeptic' "For many people over the decades believed that Orwell must had lived or at least been to the Soviet Union, because of his deep understanding of totalitarianism. Masha Karp sets out in her brilliant and informative book to suggest that nothing has changed and that the Russia of today under President Putin proves the point that Orwell made following his experience during the Spanish Civil War and his comments in his controversial list of 1949 where he names people in England" sympathetic to communism." --Richard Blair, "In George Orwell and Russia , Masha Karp explores the relationship between totalitarianism, as imagined by Orwell, and totalitarianism, as it really existed in Soviet Russia.

In truth, this reality was long in coming - from the moment a former officer of the Soviet "thought-police" came to power and re-instated the Stalin-era national anthem back in 2000. It was a straight road from then on. Masha Karp's new book offers a timely and important insight into how Europe's largest country has descended in the 21st century into a truly Orwellian reality - and a warning against failing to recognise such obvious signs of danger in the future. A must-read." -- - Vladimir Kara-Murza, Russian politician, historian, journalist; political prisoner since April 2022, arrested for his anti-war speech at the Arizona House of Representatives; winner of 2022 Vaclav Havel Human Rights Prize awarded by PACE "Those who dared to read 1984 in Eastern Europe and the USSR during the Cold War era always felt that it was a "miracle" that George Orwell so deeply and fully grasped the nature of a society that he had never stepped foot in: the totalitarian tyranny of Stalin's Russia. Equally miraculous, his nightmarish vision continued to be eerily apposite to the USSR of later decades--just as it is to Russia today. In George Orwell and Russia , Masha Karp works wonders in explaining his mirabilia of imaginative insight as she charts how Orwell's hard-won experience of collectivism's corruptions enabled him to conjure a terrifying world whose numerous catchphrases are bywords in the cultural lexicon. This outstanding, path-breaking book should be read by all those who care about the Soviet past, agonize about the Russian present, and worry about the world's future." -- John Rodden, Author of 'Becoming George Orwell: Life and Letters, Legend and Legacy' "[Karp] relishes the details of exactly how, when, and what Orwell would have learned about Soviet Russia, and how his attitudes towards Russia changed over time, especially in relation to his continued belief in the ideals of socialism... her book is most impressive on account of how judiciously she selects her material, erring on the side of factual accuracy and abundance." -- Owen Boynton, Meduza, "In George Orwell and Russia , Masha Karp explores the relationship between totalitarianism, as imagined by Orwell, and totalitarianism, as it really existed in Soviet Russia.
