From the Diary, January 1990

View through CrossRef
SUMMARY: Commemorating Alla Zeide (1941–2024), a literary scholar and student of Russian culture, this archival publication presents a fragment from her diary of January 1990. This document is her self-portrait but it is also a snapshot of a generation and a social type. Zeide writes about the trauma of her Soviet Jewishness, which she experienced most acutely during what she called her "personal Jewish pogrom" in school at the peak of the late Stalinist antisemitic campaign. She also contemplates the highly censored family memory of the first generation of Soviets, including her parents born in the 1910s, so that she learned only bits and pieces about her immediate ancestors. Резюме: Эта архивная публикация призвана почтить память Аллы Зейде (1941–2024), литературоведа и исследователя российской культуры. Публикуемые фрагменты ее дневника за январь 1990 г. можно рассматривать как автопортрет автора, но также и моментальный снимок целого поколения и социального типа. Зейде пишет о травме своего советского еврейства, наиболее остро пережитой ею во время того, что она назвала своим "личным еврейским погромом" в школе на пике позднесталинской антисемитской кампании. Она также размышляет о жесткой цензуре семейной памяти первого советского поколения, включая ее родителей, родившихся в 1910-х годах, из-за чего ей была известна лишь отрывочная информация о своих предках.
