Life under Stalin: Student questions

[Amanda Ewington]

Dear SEELANGers,

On the subject of "life under Stalin," two students in my Russian women
writers course have questions for the list related to that period and
would be grateful for any help:

1) Has Zhdanov's speech denouncing Akhmatova and Zoshchenko been
translated into English, and if so, where can it be found?  Please
reply either on list or to my student, Kelly Howell, at
kehowell at davidson.edu

2) Can anyone advise about sources for women prisoners' accounts of
sexual abuse/rape in the prisons/camps under Stalin?  Please reply
either on list or to my student, Annie O'Donnell, at
anodonnell at davidson.edu.

Many thanks!

Amanda
