Old talk

I just read in Children of the Arbat, of Anatoli Rybakov, that Boris Pilnyak was shot in 1937! In the Encyclopædia Britannica too, they say that after Stalin's death, official Soviet sources acknowledged that he had been arrested in 1937, placing the date of his death in the same year.

Zawaia.
