Evgenii Zamiatin

[Slivkin, Yevgeny]

Just one short note.
The color of yellow has a certain connotation in Russian literature.
Remember Mandel'shtam: " Nad zheltiznoi pravitel'stvennykh zdanii..." All
governmental buildings in Russian Empire, including the Winter Palace were
painted in yellow.

Hi Anna,

I did some work in that area. I linked the symbolism of yellow as ugly in
the works of Dostoevsky and in Zamiatin's "We." (In teaching my culture of
Russian revolution class)
