Morozov and Sholokhov

[Simon Krysl]

Dear all, 
I am sorry to bother - with two rather simple questions, but which may or 
may not have an answer. I just hope someone may know - and will be so kind 
as to tell me.
(1) I am teaching a class - this coming year - on Pavlik Morozov: I have 
had the luck of getting some welcome suggestion from you already. But there 
seems to be a dearth of *literary* texts in English that take up the 
Morozov story. (Besides the Schipachev poem.) I am just going to translate 
some selections myself, I think - better or worse - but it seems hard to 
believe that SOviet publishing houses have never "cast" any of the Morozov 
myths onto the English-speaking world (so to speak). Does anyone happen to 
have an idea whether that has happened, and if so, where could one find a 
(Gubarev, Yakovlev, any...) of the Morozov stories in English?
(2) The second question concerns my own research. I have been looking for 
film adaptations of Sholokhov, and beside Tixii Don and Osud cheloveka, 
there seem to be two - if not, of course, more - film adaptations of 
Podnyataya celina (the novel I am most interested in). I did manage (I 
hope) to locate a video copy of the later one (1959, A. Ivanov), but did 
not find any place where the earlier version, by Yuli  Raizman (1939) would 
be: and even no information about it. (Is that a lost film - or just a film 
no one was interested in.... who knows.) 
Would anyone, by any chance, have any suggestion or could help?
So many thanks.
Sincerely, 
Simon Krysl
