Set in 1920 during the Russian Civil War, Judgment (titled Mides-hadin in Yiddish) traces the death of the shtetl and the birth of the "new, harsher world" created by the 1917 Russian Revolution. As Bolshevik power expanded toward the border between Poland and Ukraine, Jews and non-Jews smuggled people, goods, and anti-Bolshevik literature back and forth. In the novel's fictional town of Golikhovke, the Bolsheviks have established their local outpost in a former monastery, where the non-Jewish Filipov acts as the arbiter of "judgment" and metes out punishments and executions to the prisoners held there: Yuzi Spivak, arrested for anti-Bolshevik activities; Aaron Lemberger, a pious and wealthy Jew; a seductive woman referred to as "the blonde" who believes she can appease Filipov with sex; and a memorable cast of toughs, smugglers, and criminals. Ordinary people, depicted in a grotesque, aphoristic style--comparable to Isaac Babel's Red Cavalry --confront the overwhelming, mysterious forces of history, whose ultimate outcome remains unknown. Murav and Senderovich's new translation expertly captures Bergelson's inimitable modernist style. 611 27 $a Revolution (Soviet Union : 1917-1921) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01907572 648 7 $a 1917-1921 $2 fast 650 0 $a Jews $z Russia $v Fiction. 650 7 $a Jews $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00983135 650 4 $a Jews $z Russia $v Fiction. 651 0 $a Soviet Union $x Jews $y Revolution, 1917-1921 $x Jews $v Fiction. 651 0 $a Soviet Union $x History $y Revolution, 1917-1921 $v Fiction. 651 7 $a Russia $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01207312 651 7 $a Soviet Union $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01210281 651 4 $a Soviet Union $x Jews $y Revolution, 1917-1921 $x Jews $v Fiction. 655 7 $a Fiction. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423787 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 700 1 $a Murav, Harriet, $d 1955- $e writer of introduction. $e writer of introduction. 700 1 $a Senderovich, Sasha, $e writer of introduction. $e writer of introduction. 830 0 $a Northwestern world classics. 880 10 $6 240-00 $a (2nicz dcio.(B $l (2`pbliz(B 880 33 $6 246-00 $a (2nic`q dcio.(B 941 $a 1 952 $l GAAX314 $d 20180118010036.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=3A6A0742FC1D11E7842A9F4C97128E48 994 $a Z0 $b HL6Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
