Why "Doctor Zhivago" was dangerous
(Reklamlänk)
When Boris Pasternak finished his novel Dr. Zhivago in 1956, Soviet authorities refused to publish the tale of an individual’s struggle amid the Russian Revolution. A new book, The Zhivago Affair, tells the story of how Pasternak’s novel came to be published and smuggled back into the Soviet Union — with help from the CIA. Jeffrey Brown talks to co-author Peter Finn.
