_In response to "The Nabokov Generation[3]," a comment by Nina
Khrushcheva on April 22._
_Editor,_
In her comment, Nina Khrushcheva returns to her training and her
native land to opine on how literature and Russian readership are the
potential salvation of Russia and particularly Russian youth. She
writes that "Russia's level-headed kids ... put literature to
practical use" by making it a "literary manual for our everyday life"
and particularly favor Vladimir Nabokov in this regard.
Nabokov fled Russia at the outbreak of Bolshevism, stopped writing
in Russian and never wrote about communism or human rights or
anything else that really matters for Russia's future, yet for
Khrushcheva he remains important "Russian" literature, providing
Russia with "a better road map of the way forward" because of some
insights he gained in the West while remaining Russian.
That Khrushcheva can write about his purported influence on the
young generation, even as The Moscow Times is reporting on the
horrifying growth of Nashi where young Russian automatons wallow in
the aura of Putin, speaks volumes about why Russia continues to
languish in the backwaters of humanity.
