On this day in 1958, Boris Pasternak was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature. And after this event in the USSR, an unprecedented persecution of Pasternak began at all levels. Through third parties, Pasternak was handed an ultimatum from the party leadership - a refusal from the prize in exchange for an end to the persecution. Boris Leonidovich refused the award. We have collected 10 quotes from Doctor Zhivago, for which Pasternak was awarded the unreceived prize. What anti-Sovietism officials from literature saw in the novel, today we can only guess.

Faina Georgievna really was an inexhaustible storehouse of humor, and her figurative, juicy phrases were immediately taken away by rumor, turning them into anecdotes. However, much later this led to a strange, reverse violation of copyright: Ranevskaya today is credited with such a number of witticisms that she simply did not have time
Metal herd of cows: sculptures by Miina Ekkiurkkä
