- Title
Platonov and Stalin: Dialogues in Double Dutch.
- Authors
Dobrenko, Evgeny
- Abstract
The article focuses on the linguistic projections of former Soviet premier Joseph Stalin and those of author Andrei Platonov. It mentions the clash of two linguistic projections, Stalin's expletives written in the novella "Vprok," and his comment reflecting his outrage with Platonov's language. It discusses the communication strategy of Stalinism, Stalin's text as the text of power, conventional psychologism in Stalin's narrative, and unpredictability associated with Platonov's dialogues.
