Kenneth Branagh and David Tennant on Life and Fate (BBC Radio 4)

[szilvike75]

David Tennant is the great actor!He is the very good!!

[rexsticker]

Its not about Jewish flagwaving, but about Red Star correspondent Grossman's disillusionment with Stalinism, made worse by the fact that this brutal system - the mirror image of Fascism - claimed to be building a communist society. The enormous sacrifices that were made to prop up this monstrous lie is the greatest of all tragedies. It let capitalism off the hook historically and look at us now!

Oh blimey. Not MORE Jewish flag-waving...

Cant wait for this. Love all Vasily Grossman novels and journalism! Great talent. It is lovely to see him getting a small amount of recognition. For anyone else interested in Russina 20th century literature I greatly recommend 'Kolyma Tales' and 'Graphite' by Varlam Shalamov.
