Another interesting take on Stalin's affairs with the world of words is told in "The Zhivago Affair: The Kremlin, the CIA, and the Battle Over a Forbidden Book" http://www.amazon.com/The-Zhivago-Affair-Kremlin-Forbidden/d...



I thought I added more to this comment, but I guess not. The book shows a different side to Stalin with respect to writers. He is unsure of himself, perhaps even afraid. In any case, I thought it was an interesting juxtaposition not to mention the fact that both books show the power of words.
