Ginzburg (English spelling) Evgeniya Semyonovna Ginzburg

Soviet writer. Mother of writer Aksyonov. Arrested in 1937 during the Stalin era purges, she was falsely accused of joining a "counter-revolutionary terrorist group" and spent the next 18 years in a labor camp (gulag). Her account of her experiences, "Bright Night, Dark Day" (originally titled "Rough Journey"), could not be officially published in the Soviet Union, but was widely read in the form of underground publications (samizdat) and was also published as a book abroad (volume 1, 1967, volume 2, 1979, both in Milan, Italy). This record of the process of "an idealist who innocently believed in communism" growing spiritually amidst harsh trials is not only an accusation of historical shame, but also an excellent literary work supported by delicate sensibility.

ソ連の作家。作家アクショーノフの母。スターリン時代の粛清の嵐(あらし)のなかで1937年に逮捕され、「反革命テロリスト集団」に加わったという無実の罪のため、以後18年間を強制収容所(ラーゲリ)で送った。その体験をつづった『明るい夜暗い昼』(原題は『けわしい行路』)はソ連国内で公式に出版することができなかったが、地下出版(サミズダート)の形で広く読まれ、また国外では単行本として出版された(第1巻1967年、第2巻1979年、ともにイタリア、ミラノ)。「無邪気に共産主義を信じきっていた理想主義者」が過酷な試練のなかで精神的に成長する過程を描いたこの記録は、歴史の恥部を告発するにとどまらず、繊細な感覚に支えられた優れた文学作品にもなっている。
