Works by V. P. Polonsky

Articles, Reviews and Books with Material by V. P. Polonsky (Gusin)<

This bibliography is more complete than is often the case with writers from the early Soviet period. Although Polonsky hardly avoided controversy in his relatively short life, his death from typhus in February 1932 saved him from becoming a victim of the Stalinist purges of 1936-1938. His untimely death therefore led to an unexpected result: Polonsky’s archives remained relatively intact, to the benefit of researchers today.

Three sources have contributed to this bibliography. Philip Maloney wrote a dissertation on Polonsky in 1973. In 1988, V. V. Eidinova compiled a bibliography for a Soviet edition of Polonsky’s selected writings on literature. Lastly, C. James Goodwin added new material in his dissertation on the debates between Polonsky, Grossman, Steklov, and others concerning Bakunin and Dostoevsky’s novel, «Бесы» [Demons/The Possessed]. More work remains to be done. To this day, there is no full-length biography of V. P. Polonsky. In addition, existing bibliographies need to be supplemented by archival material. Fortunately, the work that has been done provides a solid foundation for studying the life and works of this remarkable Soviet Marxist. We hope that translations will begin to appear to make Polonsky’s writings accessible to people who do not know Russian.
