About book Midnight In The Century (1982)

oh so well written fictional accounts of the 'true left' and their troubles in ussr after stalin decides they are dangerous and need liquidating. you see, they wanted to take back the revolution from what turned into the ridiculous and obscene 'bourgeoisie bureaucracy" and still fight for the little guy, the peasant, who was getting screwed (once again) by the 'powers that be", in this case stalin and co, instead of czars and aristocracy. so, big ideas, illustrated in little stories of 5 exiled troskyites who are tapped again for more severe prison terms or even perhaps death, or most likely, death. get your history through this most entertaining and deadly fiction, see the gulag archipelago that serge likened to stars in the sky rather than islands in a sea. but same idea.
