An Incident At Krechetovka Station
''An Incident at Krechetovka Station'' (russian: links=no, Случай на станции Кречетовка) is a novella by Russian writer Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn, published in the Soviet literary magazine '' Novyi Mir'' (New World) in 1963. It is one of the few works of prose written by the author that are set during World War II and is said to have been based upon real life events witnessed by the author. The novella's original title was "Случай на станции Кочетовка" (''An Incident at Kochetovka Station'') – this is the authentic name of a small railway town in the general area implied by hints in the course of the story – but a change was forced upon Solzhenitsyn by the ''Novyi Mir'' editorial board due to its allegorical association with the name of Vsevolod Kochetov, then editor-in-chief of the conservative Soviet literary magazine '' Oktiabr''' (October). In later editions, the author restored the name of the station back to "Kochetovka". ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Joseph Stalin
Joseph Vissarionovich Stalin (born Ioseb Besarionis dze Jughashvili; – 5 March 1953) was a Georgian revolutionary and Soviet political leader who led the Soviet Union from 1924 until his death in 1953. He held power as General Secretary of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union (1922–1952) and Chairman of the Council of Ministers of the Soviet Union (1941–1953).

Novels By Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
A novel is a relatively long work of narrative fiction, typically written in prose and published as a book. The present English word for a long work of prose fiction derives from the for "new", "news", or "short story of something new", itself from the la, novella, a singular noun use of the neuter plural of ''novellus'', diminutive of ''novus'', meaning "new".
