the KGB, engine of political repression inside, wanted to control the antennae of the Russian company abroad. Here's an episode of his successes in France.
arrived in France in 1975, with some of my archives, I collaborated with Alain Préchac. Normale, professor of Russian literature and Soviet brilliant translator, among the first to Solzhenitsyn. Presses Universitaires de France would have ordered the famous series "What do I know? ". For the first time, a very competent writer and helped several people in the field, including myself, could treat the subject difficult and ambiguous that was the Soviet literature.
The novelty of this book was the Your independent employee to tell the story of literature under communist rule without a candy Aragon and other kingpins of the subject (whose relationship with the NKVD KGB is confirmed by documents at the BNF, well kept and never published ). For the first time in France, names and titles of many works were cited, and well before that in other countries. Names that are famous today, including those of guests of the Salon du Livre de Paris 2005 ...
The book came out in 1977, right kagébisme . Putin was 25 and already working for political supervision in the occupying Soviet troops in East Germany.
In 1982, my destiny led me away from literature, the Holy Land and in the monasteries of the Grande Chartreuse and Mount Athos in Greece.
Alain Préchac I never saw that in 1997 and learned an amazing history, the KGB was able to liquidate our small but valuable book, with the support of French authorities.
According to his information, the Ministry of Education had received a protest petition signed by teachers Soviet Russian language and literature, serving in France. And an amazing event occurred: the book was withdrawn from sale, striped library catalogs and the catalog of the same series What do I know? itself! There is more! Except in the Japanese edition ...
The contents of the petition remains unknown to the public today. My letters interested parties have had no response, including one addressed to the BNF or the legal department of the Society of People of Letters which I belong. However, some contributors to the book, the consequences were more serious. One of them, contained in the book under the initials AB , was none other than the writer Alexander Bogoslovsky Moscow. Once the kagébé understood that obedience of the French in this case was acquired, it Bogoslovsky arrested and sent to the Gulag for three years.
