 Pozefsky Rocks With Tale of Dmitrii Pisarev May 24, 2003
Ashley Adams (Roslindale, MA)

There's an old Russian saying which translates roughly into English as "The Road to the Garden is Often the Hardest". Such is certainly the case with most mid-19th Century Russian history. But Pozefsky succeeds in bringing Petrev and the roots of Russian Radicalism to light with an energetic style and a brilliant new format for footnoting. I also enjoyed the many cartoons that helped illustrate this significant period of Russian history.
Perhaps my review of Pozefsky's incisive text can best be captured in this Armenian poem, written in 1794 by Stefan Gorganerian.The dust of youth
The cries of mute farmers
All converge on the yawns of history. But no blind horses or mules
Can carry so harsh a burden
As that of our elders.
