Grossman’s Correspondence: New Findings and New Perspectives

• In Event: New Perspectives on the Biography and Works of Vasily Grossman: Archival Discoveries of the 2020s

Abstract

The paper focuses on a newly discovered epistolary corpus consisting of several hundred previously unpublished letters—Grossman’s correspondence with his father, mother, and wives. The materials from this corpus, recently found in private and state archives, illuminate various aspects of Grossman’s life and work. The first publication of the majority of this correspondence (almost 600 letters) is scheduled for Autumn 2025 and will mark the first major publication of Grossman’s epistolary legacy.
