Forgive me, Ms. McCook, for using this place as a way to share with you a comment that I could not, as a non-paying (for now) subscriber to the Russian Dissent substack, make there. You mentioned there that you had recently reread 'the Russian novels'. If the novels you reread did not include Vassily Grossman's 'Stalingrad' and 'Life and Fate', I recommend them to you. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Life_and_Fate
I think I found missing part of this archive in a second hand store in NH in 2014. Each volume is inscribed 'Ex Libri AKoltchak Paris 1900'. I'm happy to show them to anyone interested in exchange for more information about them. here are some photos of them: https://flic.kr/s/aHsjZY9iY7
