By Vijai Maheshwari Posted Monday, Nov. 3, 2003, at 9:13 AM PT Tolstoy's heirs churn out pulp fiction, not War and Peace Russia was once known for its brooding and principled writers: In the 19 th century, there were Dostoyevsky, Tolstoy, and Chekhov; more recently, there were samizdat writers whose work was linked to their resistance to the Soviet state, including Alexander Solzhenitsyn—whose The Gulag Archipelago exposed the horrors of Stalin's camps to the Western public—and the poet and Nobel laureate Joseph Brodsky But with the collapse of the Soviet Union, Russian writers were suddenly left to fend for themselves in a harsh free market and with no state to write against. Even Solzhenitsyn was not exempt from the hardship this imposed: Although he returned to Russia in the early '90s, he has been largely ignored by a public that has little time for his high-minded novels. Other well-known dissident writers also lost their audience in the confusion and turmoil of the post-Soviet era. This fall was the year of Russia at the famous Frankfurt Book Fair. With more than a decade having passed since the Soviet collapse, it was expected that Frankfurt would help herald the rise of a new, and mature, Russian literature. Those visitors hoping Frankfurt's organizers would trot out modern-day Tolstoys crafting the great Russian novel in the isolation of a remote Siberian village were disappointed. The most interesting names on the list of writers at Frankfurt—Aleksandra Marinina, Boris Akunin, and Victor Dotsenko—had one thing in common: They all wrote thrillers. The official essay on Russian literature on the fair's Web site devoted its longest paragraph to "Contemporaneity as a Crime" or "Crime Literature."
