The dream life of Sukhanov

Book • 2005
The novel explores the life of Anatoly Sukhanov, the editor-in-chief of an official Soviet art magazine, who must confront his past choices and artistic compromises as the Soviet Union begins to disintegrate.

Grushin's work delves into themes of identity, betrayal, and the struggle for artistic integrity within a repressive regime.

The story is a poignant reflection on the consequences of sacrificing one's principles for success.
