"This book introduces the autobiographical chronicle of prominent Russian scholar Olga Freidenberg (1890-1955). At times an autobiography or memoir, at times diary, Freidenberg's "notes" move among several modes, fusing them together: a harrowing account of physical, social, and moral suffering under Stalin, an attempt to make the traumatic experience meaningful, and development of a political theory of Stalinism on the basis of a meticulous description of daily life"-- Provided by publisher.
