Gorham, Michaels, 'Writers at the Front: Language of State in the Civil War Narratives of Isaac Babel and Dmitrii Furmanov', in Gregory Freidin (ed.), The Enigma of Isaac Babel: Biography, History, Context (Redwood City, CA , 2009; online edn, Stanford Scholarship Online, 20 June 2013), https://doi.org/10.11126/stanford/9780804759038.003.0005, accessed 23 Apr. 2025.
Abstract
This chapter offers a historical context for understanding Babel—the struggle for the authoritative postrevolutionary language of state, which ultimately came to dominate public discourse in Russia. The juxtaposition of Babel's Red Cavalry and Furmanov's Chapaev goes a long way toward explaining Babel's “silence” in the 1930s, when the “Furmanov model”—a paired language of command adopted by the top-down ideological party state—came to dominate the print media as well as the officially sanctioned Soviet letters.
