How do we encompass something as mammoth as Russian state violence, especially as evidenced in its brutal assault on Ukraine? In this survey of Russian short fiction from the 19th century to the 21st century, we approach this question from a literary angle. We will explore colonial wars, autocracy, conformity and resistance to oppressive state power.
