20th Century Russian Works about the Caucasus

[Emily Saunders]

Not fitting the bill in terms of Soviet Writers, but perhaps fitting  
the bill in terms of time frame:

British author (and adventurer/diplomat) Fitzroy Maclean's 20th  
century travelogue "To Caucasus, the End of the Earth" makes  
interesting reading for its time (the 60's, I think).

Also "Home, and Home Again" by emigre Georgian writers George and  
Helen Papashvily -- a combination childhood memoir and an account of  
their return to visit family during Soviet times.
