• W2023367901 abstract "Reviewed by: Besedy na Lubianke: Sledstvennoe delo Dërdia Lukacha. Materialy k biografii Katerina Clark Viacheslav T. Sereda and A. S. Stykalin, eds. Besedy na Lubianke: Sledstvennoe delo Dërdia Lukacha. Materialy k biografii. Moscow: Rossiiskaia akademiia nauk, 1999. 259 pp. ISBN 575760090X. This book is a welcome addition to the many recent collections of documents culled from the archives which provide us with a more accurate picture of the arrests, interrogations, and so forth that marked the Stalinist 1930s and 1940s. Its particular subject is György Lukács (1885–1971), who is best known as a theorist of literature and leading figure of the anti-fascist emigration of intellectuals in the 1930s, but who was also, at different times, active in the communist parties of Hungary (his native land), Germany, and the Soviet Union. The ostensible focus of the book is Lukács's arrest in Moscow on 29 June 1941 on charges of being an agent of the Hungarian government, his interrogation at the hands of the NKVD and release on 26 August of that year. However, the material on this, taken from his file in the archive of the former KGB (Arkhiv FSB RF), takes up less than half the book. The rest comprises documents on Lukács's two stays in Soviet Russia (late 1929–31, 1933–45) taken from several Russian archives: the former party archive (RTsKhIDNI, since renamed RGASPI), the archive of the Academy of Sciences (Arkhiv RAN), and the Russian State Archive of Literature and Art (RGALI). Much of this material is translated into Russian from the original German—and (invaluably) Hungarian. The book also provides an extensive biography by A. S. Stykalin which reviews Lukács's life until his death in 1971. The stated reason for all this supplementary material is to throw light on the reasons for both the arrest and the release of Lukács. The documents pertaining to Lukács's arrest, interrogation, his wife's petition to Molotov, and his release impart, inasmuch as they follow a single case through time, a good sense of the procedures the NKVD went through at that time and the standard documents generated for such occasions, though not really, as the editors admit in their introduction, the reasons for Lukács's arrest and release; on this they can only speculate, as they do. Thus while this previously unpublished material is valuable in itself, I applaud the editors' decision to supplement it with unpublished material from the Russian archives that treats more of Lukács's life and activities. As will be clear in the following brief account of his career, the significance of Lukács in Soviet, and indeed European, history well exceeds his importance as [End Page 451] yet another (temporary) victim of Stalinist terror. The publication of these documents, many of which have been inaccessible before, make Besedy na Lubianke a valuable source not just for scholars working on Lukács himself, but also for historians of the Comintern, the Hungarian Communist Party, the anti-fascist movement among intellectuals, and also the Stalinist purges. Lukács, the son of a prominent Jewish banker in Budapest, became a leading figure in cultural circles of Budapest before the war. The many publications of the early Lukács include The Theory of the Novel, which is widely discussed among philosophers and theoreticians of literature today.1 Originally trained in law at the University of Budapest, Lukács went on to study sociology and philosophy at the universities of Berlin and Heidelberg before returning to Budapest, where he became increasingly active in political life. The experiences of World War I and the Bolshevik Revolution impelled him further to the left; he joined the Hungarian Communist Party in 1918, and in February 1919, when its entire Central Committee was arrested, he was appointed to the replacement Central Committee. In the short-lived Hungarian Soviet Republic he served as Deputy Minister of Education and as a Commissar of its Red Army. He was left in Hungary to do underground work after the Republic fell and the Central Committee emigrated, but was soon forced to join his comrades in emigration in Vienna. From 1919..." @default.
