20th Century Russian Works about the Caucasus

[Clowes, Edith W]

Dear John,

See Margaret Ziolkowski's Alien vision: the Chechens and the Navajos in Russian and American literature.
My new book, Russia on the Edge: Imagined Geographies and Post-Soviet Identity, due out March, 2011, 
has a chapter on the north Caucasus.

Sincerely,
Edith

Dear All,

Does anyone know of any works of Russian literature from the 20th century
that take place in the Caucasus or deal with Russia's presence there?  Or
any works in which Caucasians play a prominent role?  I can only think of
Tolstoy's *Hadji Murat* and Iskander's stories, including *Sandro from
Chegem*.  I am particularly curious to see how Soviet writers treat the
Caucasus and its place in Russian history.  Thank you in advance for your
help.
