Svetlana Alexievich

49books5,673followers
Svetlana Alexievich was born in Ivano Frankivsk, Ukraine. Her father was Belarusian and her mother Ukrainian. Alexievich grew up in Belarus, where both her parents were teachers. She studied to be a journalist at the University of Minsk and worked a teacher, journalist and editor. In Minsk she has worked at the newspaper Sel'skaja Gazeta, Alexievich's criticism of the political regimes in the Soviet Union and thereafter Belarus has periodically forced her to live abroad, for example in Italy, France, Germany and Sweden.

Svetlana Alexievich depicts life during and after the Soviet Union through the experience of individuals. In her books she uses interviews to create a collage of a wide range of voices. With her "documentary novels", Svetlana Alexievich, who is a journalist, moves in the boundary between reporting and fiction. Her major works are her grand cycle Voices of Utopia, which consists of five parts. Svetlana Alexievich's books criticize political regimes in both the Soviet Union and later Belarus.

In 2015 Ms Alexievich was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature.

IL VIETNAM SOVIETICO



Ho questa idea: fare un grande e imponente lavoro; dovrebbe essere esattamente come un romanzo, con un'unica differenza: ogni sua parola dovrebbe essere vera.
Parole di Truman capote che progettava il suo 鈥淎 sangue freddo鈥�.

Un altro romanzo-inchiesta, o romanzo-documentario, di Svetlana Aleksievic: questo 猫 dedicato alla guerra in Afghanistan, all鈥檌nvasione che l鈥橴nione Sovietica inizi貌 nel 1979 con la scusa di appoggiare l鈥檈sercito regolare di quel paese contro l鈥檃ttacco di forze giudicate guerrigliere (prima di tutto i cosiddetti mujaheddin), e secondo il governo sovietico finanziate da forze straniere (USA, Cina, Pakistan, Iran, Arabia Saudita, UK).
L鈥檌nvasione dur貌 dieci anni e fu un bagno di sangue. Un milione di giovani sovietici, uomini e donne, furono impegnati e direttamente coinvolti.
Alla fine i sovietici furono costretti a ritirarsi senza aver ottenuto che un nulla infernale. Un po鈥� come quello che era successo a gli USA in Vietnam: uno sforzo bellico enorme, perdite ingenti, violenza sfrenata, nessun risultato. Da qui, appunto, la definizione di Vietnam Sovietico.



L鈥檕cchio e l鈥檃ttenzione della Aleksievic, come sempre affamata di realt脿, 猫 diretto a chi ha combattuto quella guerra, i soldati dell鈥橝rmata Rossa, molti dei quali tornavano a casa dentro una bara di zinco (da cui il titolo del libro). Oltre che ai combattenti sovietici, agli ausiliari, al personale medico, alle donne coinvolte. E poi ai aprenti di vittime e reduci. Un impianto corale dove come suo solito Aleksievic intreccia le testimonianze ai dati storici, statistici, ai fatti di cronaca.

Aleksievic ascolta molte voci di donne, come quella dell鈥檌nfermiera, che racconta le molestie subite dai compatrioti, i tentativi di violenza dai quali 猫 riuscita a difendersi.
Come la madre che accoglie felice e gioiosa il figlio reduce dal fronte, per poi accorgersi che 猫 sempre pi霉 silenzioso, sempre pi霉 legato ai suoi commilitoni, sempre pi霉 portato alla violenza, come se la guerra non fosse rimasta laggi霉, ma lo avesse seguito a casa.
Non sono neanche pi霉 riuscito a indossare i miei jeans e le mie camicie di prima della guerra, perch茅 erano ormai gli abiti di un altro, di una persona ormai estranea, anche se mia madre mi assicurava che avevano conservato il mio odore.



Uno degli aspetti che emerge con pi霉 vivezza 猫 la relazione tra menzogna e verit脿, la prima a carico dello stato, del potere, dell鈥檜fficialit脿, la seconda conosciuta da chi 猫 stato al fronte: quello che era stato spacciato per dovere internazionalista e fratellanza col popolo afghano, 鈥渧igilanza contro gli intrighi dell鈥檌mperialismo鈥� e 鈥渟ostegno della giusta lotta dei popoli per la libert脿 e l鈥檌ndipendenza鈥�, si mostra inesistente di fronte a una guerra affrontata senza la minima preparazione tecnica e in condizioni atroci. I reduci, partiti pieni di belle illusioni e buoni sentimenti, di un romanticismo ingenuo, si trasformano in marionette di un gioco ben pi霉 grande di loro, si scontrano con la realt脿 di un carnaio indicibile, e la vanit脿 del loro intervento, del loro sforzo. Un prezzo da pagare davvero troppo alto.

[image error]

Elio Vittorini scriveva a proposito della guerra che conobbe di persona, la seconda mondiale:
Ma forse non ogni uomo 猫 uomo; e non tutto il genere umano 猫 genere umano. Questo 猫 un dubbio che viene, nella pioggia, quando uno ha le scarpe rotte, acqua nelle scarpe rotte, e non pi霉 nessuno in particolare che gli occupi il cuore, non pi霉 vita sua particolare, nulla pi霉 di fatto e nulla da fare, nulla neanche da temere, nulla pi霉 da perdere, e vede, al di l脿 di se stesso, i massacri del mondo.

I remember back in the '70s having to sit through long presentations regarding the Soviet Union and the military might thereof. These briefings were given by American military personnel and the general theme was that the Soviet Union was an evil empire, armed to the teeth. It seemed that they had endless munitions and hordes of personnel under arms, all of whom wanted our stuff. They had no stuff in the Soviet Union, we were told, and they would be coveting our stuff, which we had in abundance. Some of this propaganda had a grain of truth in it: the Soviets were starved for consumer goods and they did have a lot of men under arms, but the weaponry was outdated and defective and the soldiery reluctant and usually coerced into service. And while there was a shortage of consumer goods, even the most fashion-conscious was unlikely to risk death for a pair of jeans. Somehow the people doing the briefings neglected to mention that part. In short, while the Soviet Union had enough punch to mess the world up considerably, they were extremely unlikely to start anything, military bombast notwithstanding.

After the "invasion" of Afghanistan, I recall even more anti-Soviet propaganda. One US-based military magazine sought donations to purchase ammo for the mujahidin. If I recall correctly, the slogan was "Kill a commie for Mommy" or some such blather. I have often wondered if anyone ever contributed and, if so, whether any of the contribution actually made it to Afghanistan. I guess what I'm getting at with all of this preamble is that we were pretty much brainwashed into an intense dislike of all things Soviet.

This book is the result of many personal interviews the author conducted with returned soldiers and civilians and also with the next of kin of those who were returned in zinc coffins, or zinky boys as they became known. Alexievich has managed to put a human face on the Soviet soldier for me, and I have come to realize that soldiers are soldiers the world over. Our governments start wars, and governments legislate soldiers into action whether the soldier likes it or not.

In the case of the Russians, many of them were told that their intervention in Afghanistan prevented the takeover of the country by the USA, which was on the point of invading. Many soldiers were told they were being airlifted to some other destination, only to find themselves in Afghanistan when the plane touched down. Some volunteered for the job, as the bazaars in Afghanistan had more consumer goods than the Soviet shops. Ponder that for a moment; a backwater like Afghanistan having more produce than your home country!

Life was hard for these soldiers. The Soviet army turned a blind eye to the constant hazing and abuse of recruits. New soldiers were routinely robbed and beaten by the older soldiers or "grandfathers". An excerpt from a soldier's letter home:

"Mum, buy me a puppy and call it Sergeant so I can kill it when I get home." (p.46)

Even the female civilian employees were not free from abuse. They volunteered for service; some for patriotic reasons, some for the extra pay, and yet others for the shopping opportunities. Whatever their motivation, they were universally assumed to have come hunting for men. Sadly, many of them felt a need to take on a man as protection against the predations of others. Better one devil you know than many you don't.

Alexeivich has really been able to express the anguish and heartache of those who came back to a country that was so neglectful that Afghanistan casualties, Zinky Boys, were not allowed to be buried in the same section of a cemetery, like they were a collective dirty secret. I won't even go into the sense of loss and betrayal expressed by grieving mothers who were never given adequate details regarding the death of their respective children. In spite of this, the reaction to the author's work was mixed, and I leave you with this final quote from a call she received:

"Who needs your dreadful truth? I don't want to know it!!! You want to buy your own glory at the expense of our sons' blood. They were heroes, heroes, heroes! They should have beautiful books written about them, and you're turning them into mincemeat" (p.187)

LA TOCCANTE TESTIMONIANZA SULL'AFGHANISTAN

Aleksievic da voce a coloro che non sono mai stati sentiti, ai combattenti sovietici in Afganistan (i cosiddetti afgancy), ma anche alle infermiere e impiegate e alle madri di chi 猫 stato inviato l脿 tra il 1979 e il 1989. Atrocit脿 terribili, sofferenza per chi se n鈥櫭� andato, propaganda imbevuta di patriottismo e barre di zinco che non potevano essere aperte dai familiari di chi moriva in combattimento.

Un segreto di stato come molti altri nell鈥橴nione Sovietica, anzi, ancora pi霉 perfido e subdolo, che ha distrutto intere famiglie mai risarcite, mai ascoltate. Una guerra voluta dai vertici politici sovietici di quel periodo, senza alcun senso, dispendiosa, inutile 鈥� in cui morirono pi霉 di 20 000 e ne rimasero feriti 50 000, tra i sovietici, ma anche mezzo milione di afgani!

Ecco allora cos鈥檈ra questa 鈥済rande causa internazionalista e patriottica鈥� di cui si parlava nei giornali in Unione Sovietica, senza mai ammettere ufficialmente che si trattava di una guerra vera e propria. Non si potr脿 mai sapere com鈥櫭� stata davvero la guerra dai libri di storia. Le testimonianze orali di chi l鈥檋a vissuta, invece, sulla propria pelle, sono qualcosa di prezioso e da conoscere assolutamente.

A pensare, poi, che dal 2001 ad oggi in Afganistan ancora si combatte鈥�
UPDATE: non pi霉, ma la situazione 猫 ancor peggiore.

I could not and still cannot read this book for more than 10 pages at a time. I put it down, wipe my tears, walk around the house a few times, and get back to it with some wariness. One of my friends/students once said to me, "Never, never teach a class on Afghanistan without this book." Or for that matter on war.

The love of a mother for her son (and sometimes daughter) has never, for me, been so strongly conveyed as in this book. The fear and idealism of the soldier never opened up so carefully, so delicately, so warmly, so precisely. The collective delusions of a society never conveyed so irresistibly as tides, as a gravity that pulls everyone to tragedy, to the inevitable implosion of one's naivete, towards one's desire to be find out that one is indeed a fool, a loving fool, but a fool.

That these are soviet soldiers speaking about their experience in Afghanistan brings home the significance of this book in elliptical ways. The indirectness of the blows Aleksievich delivers compound their deft, deadly, efficiency. Through the particular the universal speaks. And, as it speaks it carries itself to and through another particular. The Soviets and the USAers -- twins.

Read this book and be changed. Read it again and again be changed. Read it a third time and ask yourself if we do not discover our humanity by tragedy alone.

A good film to watch as a companion to this book: The Thin Red Line (1998)

The Enduring Shame of War

War is a nightmare. It remains a nightmare longest for those soldiers who have survived it. The truth is that they don鈥檛 survive it, they re-live it one way or another for the rest of their lives. And what they re-live is exactly what all combat soldiers do: the utter absurdity of what they have accomplished.

So this book, although written in 1990 reporting the thoughts, memories and regrets of young Russian soldiers and surviving family members, female civilian employees and nurses who were assigned to Afghanistan, is indistinguishable from the reported experiences of American young men in VietNam twenty years before or of the British and American soldiers who followed the Russians into Afghanistan thirty years later. Roughly a half-century of experience of violent death. This experience is always the same for the grunts who do the shooting and diving for cover, and who suffer from the fear and discomfort of patrols, outposts, and missions that they know are not only dangerous but also ill-founded and useless.

And the personal consequences for these soldiers are virtually identical: alienation from family and friends, drug addiction, psychotic episodes, psycho-somatic disabilities, and a host of other maladies generally known as PTSD. It has become clear that every front-line combatant suffers deeply and permanently from the experiences of killing, being the constant target of killing, and the witnessing of comrades being killed and maimed. The Russians put the situation succinctly:
鈥溾€� in order to experience the horror you have to remember it and get used to it. Within two or three weeks there鈥檚 nothing left of the old you except your name. You鈥檝e become someone else鈥� It鈥檚 a total transformation, it happens very quickly, and to practically everyone鈥� everyone鈥檚 damaged in some way, no one escapes intact.鈥�


But there is something else that is now also becoming evident. The most enduring effects of combat may not be in the soldiers but in the societies to which they and the bodies of their colleagues return. The introduction to the book is by a veteran of the American War in VietNam who was part of the interviewing process among the Russians. He is very clear about the central commonality between his comrades and the young Russians:
鈥溾€� of all the comparisons between the American GIs who fought in Vietnam and the young Soviets who fought in Afghanistan, perhaps the most remarkable and consistent is their bitterness towards their governments. Both groups of men feel profoundly betrayed, and it is having been lied to that most sticks in the craw.鈥�


Warfare destroys the fabric of the society that undertakes it. The hundreds of thousands, indeed millions, of disillusioned young men who have been through combat experience and return carry with them this sense of betrayal. They may hesitate to talk about their experiences of death, privation, and suffering. But this betrayal is unavoidably communicated to spouses, family and friends. They are the vectors for a social virus which is unstoppable. Neither the absurd restrictions imposed by the Soviets about discussion of military experience, nor the equally absurd propaganda by the US government about the national duty to stop communism could halt the spread of suspicion that the real enemy is the government.

That the Russian war in Afghanistan was a precipitating factor in the fall of the Soviet state, I think is unquestionable. That the American war in VietNam started a significant if less drastic change in American politics beginning with the Reagan administration and subtly spreading at state level is also likely. That the American wars in Iraq and Afghanistan contributed to the breakdown of traditional political party positions in America and the eventual elevation of Trump and his divisiveness is explicit. Wars kill more than people. War destroys trust in organisations and institutions far removed from the battlefield. War demands deceit within the nation that pursues it.

But the deceit involved in war goes even deeper than governmental and military lies, distortions and cover-ups. All of these recent wars were popular in the sense that there was wide-spread public support for their prosecution. In each the stated motivations and objectives were noble: to free, to protect, to build, to develop. Families were proud to send their sons to do their patriotic duty. Everyone was re-assured by the statements of political leaders that military involvement was both necessary and essentially short-term. When the facts of the case emerged, it was clear that the public had been duped. Or rather, they had duped themselves through their naive confidence in largely vacuous concepts like justified warfare, theories of strategic vulnerability, the evil of socialism (or capitalism). They, not their governments were the real culprits. They didn鈥檛 just allow war, they promoted it.

Shame is an overpowering emotion. The testimony of soldiers is literally shameful in a population that knows it has erred grievously. The public response to soldiers returning from VietNam was exactly the same as for the Russians returning from Afghanistan - shame. The soldiers were the scapegoats for that shame but it resided in those who mocked them, blamed them, accused them, and ignored them. And this shame has a cultural half-life longer than the generation alive during the conflict.

Shame, because it is so unbearable, gets passed along surreptitiously. And it shows up in a sort of self-hatred of the kind visible in America and Russia at the moment. They cannot admit to their own monstrously bad behaviour. So they turn on each other and create diversionary issues - abortion rights, immigration horrors, budget deficits - to avoid confronting the shame.

So the shame lingers and festers. Given an opportunity it provokes the need to demonstrate confidence, bravado, to mask its presence. And the process of war begins its cycle once again. As a Russian artillery officer put the situation: 鈥淥ur children will grow up and deny their fathers ever fought in Afghanistan.鈥� But those children will probably be sent to fight somewhere else.

Visceral, searing, and full of emotion. Svetlana found herself "having" to write this book, I think. She opens the book with her going to Afghanistan and not wanting to cover yet another war after her emotional experience in publishing . She, however, realized these people's stories had to be told, especially with the at-home propaganda machine churning out nonsense like "Our brave international soldiers are planting trees, paving roads, and helping the Afghan people."

Much like any war that is not popular or considered a mistake, the combat veterans heavily contemplate why exactly they were fighting, dying, and mentally scarring themselves. Given how the veterans were treated when they returned home by their politicians, the civilians, etc., I am even more completely comfortable calling this Russia's Vietnam.

An incredible learning experience for me that Svetlana doesn't shy away from is how many Soviet women were involved in the war. I was unaware of this facet within the war beyond medical staff and how often they bled and died just like the men.

The author closes her book with various transcripts of the court proceedings brought against her once the book was published. People who the KGB pressured to rescind their statements and say she twisted their words. Mercifully just about across the board, the court sided with the author.

Maldito sejas, Afeganist茫o!


鈥漅apazes de Zinco鈥� (1989) 茅 mais uma obra da escritora e jornalista bielorrussa Svetlana Alexievich (n. 1948), galardoada com o Pr茅mio Nobel da Literatura em 2015 鈥� 鈥減ela sua escrita polif贸nica, monumento ao sofrimento e 脿 coragem na nossa 茅poca.鈥�
O seu projecto liter谩rio Vozes da Utopia congrega cinco obras: 鈥滱 Guerra N茫o Tem Rosto de Mulher鈥� (1985), 鈥滱s 脷ltimas Testemunhas鈥� (1985) (a ser editado em Portugal em 2017), 鈥漅apazes de Zinco鈥� (1989), 鈥漋ozes de Chernobyl鈥� (1997) (4*) e 鈥漁 Fim do Homem Sovi茅tico鈥� (2013)(4*) 鈥� e representa um novo g茅nero liter谩rio de n茫o-fic莽茫o em que d谩 voz aos intervenientes, num estilo documental conjugado a partir de entrevistas, numa prosa de invulgar concis茫o, dominada por uma sensibilidade desconcertante, sobre hist贸rias dram谩ticas e tr谩gicas que envolveram homens, mulheres e crian莽as, em in煤meros contextos geogr谩ficos, pol铆ticos e sociais.
Em 鈥漅apazes de Zinco鈥� a tem谩tica 茅 a guerra: no caso espec铆fico a Guerra do Afeganist茫o 1979 鈥� 1989 ou a Guerra Afeg茫-Sovi茅tica na qual existiu o envolvimento militar directo das tropas da Uni茫o Sovi茅tica num contexto da Guerra Fria, onde assistimos mais uma vez, tal como j谩 sucedera em outras guerras, ao dissimilar da mentira, a verdade nesta circunst芒ncia 茅 um conceito relativo; neste caso espec铆fico, para os cidad茫os sovi茅ticos, as tropas tinham sido enviadas ao Afeganist茫o para trabalharem em projectos humanit谩rios e de constru莽茫o de infra-estruturas, cumprindo-se um dever enquadrado como ajuda internacional.
鈥漅apazes de Zinco鈥� 茅 um livro cruel 鈥� a guerra decorre no terreno, mas os mortos s茫o enterrados em segredo, dentro dos famigerados caix玫es de zinco 鈥� um relato a v谩rias vozes de mulheres, m茫es e esposas - vi煤vas, e de ex-combatentes, sobre os jovens, homens e mulheres, que ou n茫o regressaram vivos ou dos que regressaram vivos, retornam como 鈥渙utras pessoas鈥�; numa guerra que durou quase dez anos, com mais de quinze mil mortos e mais de quatrocentos e cinquenta mil feridos e doentes, e que deixou um rasto destrutivo, na minha perspectiva, mais individual do que colectiva, gerando comportamentos e atitudes irremediavelmente dominadas pelo 贸dio das pessoas - ex-combatentes e outros cidad茫os - que no regresso t锚m a percep莽茫o da mentira e da inutilidade de uma guerra que acabou perdida contra as for莽as da guerrilha afeg茫s.
Svetlana Alexievich em 鈥漅apazes de Zinco鈥� confere, igualmente, um enquadramento sinistro entre as rela莽玫es de militares e das mulheres civis, voluntariadas para servir e socorrer, e que rapidamente se v锚em enredadas em exig锚ncias sexuais implac谩veis; ou da indiferen莽a burocr谩tica decorrente dos que s茫o enviados mortos 鈥� nos caix玫es de zinco 鈥� sem que possam ser rapidamente entregues 脿s fam铆lias ou sequer que possam abrir os caix玫es; ou do desespero e do calv谩rio dos que regressam, marginalizados e exclu铆dos como p谩rias da sociedade - os "afgan": 鈥漃ercebi que aqui ningu茅m precisa de n贸s. N茫o interessa o que pass谩mos. 脡 desnecess谩rio, inc贸modo. E n贸s tamb茅m somos desnecess谩rios, inc贸modos.
(...)
Acordo de manh茫 e fico contente se n茫o me lembro do que sonhei. N茫o conto os meus sonhos a ningu茅m, mas eles regressam... Sempre os mesmos鈥︹€�
(P谩g. 197 鈥� 198)
No final de 鈥漅apazes de Zinco鈥� h谩 uma sec莽茫o dedicada aos v谩rios julgamentos e 脿s v谩rias ac莽玫es intentadas por um grupo de m茫es de combatentes mortos no Afeganist茫o e por ex-militares contra Svetlana Alexievich.
鈥漅apazes de Zinco鈥� 茅 um livro implac谩vel sobre o horror e o inferno da Guerra do Afeganist茫o 1979 鈥� 1989 ou da Guerra Afeg茫-Sovi茅tica.

ZINKY BOYS: A REQUIEM TO THE REMEMBERED

When I read a few days ago in Ladbroke betting site that Svetlana Alexievich, the great Belarusian writer, is topping as a probable candidate for 2015 Nobel prize for literature, I felt a palpitation in my heart. Ever since I read her book Zinky Boys, I have been a great fan of this writer. Now that she has won the prize, my joy knows no bounds as she is a truly deserving writer to win Nobel Prize. I own two books of her-Zinky Boys and Voices from Cherneobyl. Both of them fall into a kind Oral history of ordinary people entangled in the events that are beyond their control; superhuman events that had torpedoed their life- The Soviet Invasion of Afghan and the Chernobyl Nuclear tragedy. The throng of tragedies that she portrays through episodic narration from the voices of the people and witnesses she had interviewed after the events overwhelm any sensitive reader. The trauma of ordinary people who were incapacitated by the immensity of sorrow as a result of the unforeseen events acquire extraordinary dimension as we read them.

Zinky Boys chronicle the stories of mothers, Generals, widows, Privates, nurses, Civilians and even Military advisors who were traumatized by the soviet invasion of Afghanistan from 1979 to 1989. The war claimed about 50,000 Soviet causalities, most whom were young boys recruited to fight the Afghan Mujahideens. The Soviet dead were shipped back home in sealed zinc coffins (Hence the term 鈥榋inky Boys鈥�. The title is an ironic allusion, on the one hand to the zinc coffins used by the Red Army in this war, on the other hand to the Soviet imagery of 鈥榮teel men鈥�, soldier and workers in heroic narratives of earlier wars.) while the state was denying the tragedy and even the very existence of a conflict in Afghanistan. The whole book as I said is a chorus of voices; voices that reverberate with pain and agony. They offer a unique and hauntingly powerful insight into the realities of war and how the iron curtain of Soviet Union made it invisible and improbable.

Here is an excerpt. Note how she builds up the emotional crescendo by repetitions and associations to simple aspects of her child.

MOTHER

He was always small. He was as small as a girl when he was born, just couple of kilos, and he grew up small. I鈥檇 cuddle him and call him my little sunshine.

The only thing he was afraid was spiders. Once he went out to play. We鈥檇 bought him a new coat and when he returned I hung it up in the cupboard and went into the kitchen. A few minute later I heard this strange noise , shelp-shlep, shlep-shlep. The entrance-hall was full of frogs. They were jumping out of his pockets. He picked them all up. 鈥楧on鈥檛 be frightened Mum,鈥� he said, stuffing them back in pockets, 鈥榯hey鈥檙e nice little creature鈥�. My little sunshine鈥�

He loved toys to do with war, tanks, machine guns, pistols. He鈥檇 strap guns round himself and march round the house. 鈥業 鈥榤 a soldier, I鈥檓 soldier.鈥�
When he went to school, we couldn鈥檛 find a uniform to fit him and he was lost in the smallest one they had. My little sunshine鈥�

Then they took him off to army. I prayed he wouldn鈥檛 be killed. I prayed he wouldn鈥檛 be beaten up and humiliated by the bigger, senior ones-he was so small. He told us how they could force you to clean out the toilets with a toothbrush and wash out other people鈥檚 underpants. That鈥檚 what I was afraid of. He wrote and told us when he was being posted and to send him photos of his mum and sister鈥�.*

He didn鈥檛 write where he was being sent. Two months later we had a letter from Afghanistan. 鈥楧on鈥檛 cry, Mum, our flak-jackets are very good,鈥� he wrote. 鈥極ur flak-jackets are good鈥︹€� My little sunshine鈥�.

I was already expecting him home, he had a month more to go in army. I managed to buy him some shirts, and a scarf, and shoes. They鈥檙e still in the cupboard.
The first thing I knew about it was when a captain from headquarters arrived.

鈥楾ry to be strong, mother鈥�..鈥� That鈥檚 what he called me.

鈥榃here is my son?鈥�

鈥楬ere in Minsk. They鈥檙e bringing him now.鈥�

I fell to the floor. 鈥楳y little sunshine. My little sunshine.鈥� I got up and threw myself at the captain. 鈥榃hy are you alive and my son dead? You鈥檙e big and strong and he鈥檚 so small. You鈥檙e a man and he鈥檚 just boy. Why are you alive?鈥�

They brought in the coffin. I collapsed over it. I wanted to lay him out and they wouldn鈥檛 allow us to open the coffin to see him, touch him, touch him鈥�.Did they find a uniform to fit him? 鈥楳y little sunshine, my little sunshine.鈥� Now I just want to be in the coffin with him. I go to the cemetery, throw myself on the gravestone and cuddle him. My little sunshine鈥�.

( *As part of the regime of military secrecy conscripts are generally sent to their units straight from the training-camp)
..............................................................................
I know there are puritans who consider that interviews and oral history are not literature in the sense intended by Nobel and the sense employed by the Academy all these years. I do not bear any disinclination to "creative-nonfiction" or "Journalistic Literature" (an excellent example in this genre is that of the late Polish Journalist and writer Ryszard Kapu艣ci艅ski whose works like "Emperor", "Sha of Iran" and "Another day of Life" are marvellous testaments of intercultural encounters and life in turbulent times like in Ethiopia, Iran and Angola) so long as the works are great testaments of humanity. Well, this genre is not new also as many writers like Alexander Solzhenitsyn (Gulag Archipelago), Truman Capote and Oliver Sacks have written similar works.

The greatness of that Svetlana Alexievich lies in the fact that though the book is written as a collage of polyphonic voices, the voices are distinctive in many episodes. Being a mother, she excels well in narrating memories of mothers and widows.Her prose is lucid and devastating. She sees things with heart and her Ear is the witness. I couldn鈥檛 read the book at a stretch when I read it in 2006 as many passages gave a lump in my throat and made my eyes misty. Yes, the book is not altogether devoid of sentimentality, though the writer has strived to maintain great restraint, concision and solemnity in her narration. The feminine memory has an adorable charm in this book. Their voices are more ethical than political. I wish to cite one more small passage from the voice of a Widow.

There鈥檚 a big photograph of him hanging on the wall.'Take Daddy down for me鈥�, my little girl asks, 鈥業 want to play with Daddy鈥�. She puts her toys round his picture and talks to him. When I put her to bed at night she asks, 鈥榃ho shot Daddy? Why did they choose Daddy?鈥� I take her to nursery school and when it鈥檚 time to take her home she鈥檚 in tears. 鈥業鈥檓 not leaving school till Daddy comes to fetch me. Where鈥檚 my Daddy?鈥�

What can I tell her? How can I explain? I鈥檓 only twenty-one myself. This summer I took her to my mother in the country, hoping she鈥檇 forget him.
I鈥檓 not strong enough to go on crying day after day鈥 watch a man with his wife and child, three of them going somewhere together and my soul begins to scream鈥�.鈥橧f only you could get up for one single minute to see what a lovely daughter you鈥檝e got .

This incomprehensible war is over for you, but not for me, and for our daughter it will never be over for she鈥檒l go on living after us, Our children are the unhappiest generation of all-they鈥檒l have to take responsibility for everything鈥an you hear me?

Who am I crying to鈥�.


Zinky boys is a marvellous attempt in writing multiple autobiography. The monologues and memories that come alive in Zinky Boys are monumental testimonies of the misfortunes inflicted by mankind.

My fourth book in Non Fiction November, and my second book for Svetlana, whom I discovered with 'Voices from Chernobyl' which I found after watching the Netflix series...
This book would be my first indepth reading about the Afghan war, I've been exposed to Afghanistan before while reading 'The Kite Runner' and 'A Thousand Splendid Suns' for Khaled ElHusseini, but that was on a fictional base, giving a general picture of what the country was before and what it became to after the russians left and the taliban came.The beauty here in this book is that it's written by an opposing voice from within the aggressor side.
The worst thing any nation can do is to consciously start a war by invading another country using the youth of it's people to fuel this aggression, and expect them to come home as heroes, ignoring the atrocities they were forced to commit in the name of their country, even worse, leave them without any help to integrate back within society, and when it turns out they are broken empty shells, that they have gone to war and came back damaged, their government was the first to fail them.
The voices speak from first hand experience of the machinations of war, it is full of hurt, loss, and retellings of the personal experiences of what it really is to be at war, they all confirm it is nothing like the movies, its more brutal and harrowing than the most gory hollywood act.
The book is more into the psych aspect of war, from a gathering of personal insights, presented as it is told by those who experienced it be they survivors or the parents of those who came back in the Zinc coffins that gives the book its name, the book is putting them together to give the reader a glimpse at the abyss of brutality that is war, it is not about the Afghan atrocity itself.
Yet one thing is pretty clear from my reading, that the invasion of Afghanistan was a Russian mistake. And this calls on me to read further on the war itself...

What made this book so powerful, so heartbreaking, was its simplicity. In Zinky Boys, Russian journalist Svetlana Alexievich interviews the mothers, widows, civilians and soldiers whose lives were destroyed by the USSR's ten year war in Afghanistan. The 197 pages are filled with dozens of short interviews which left me close to tears, depressed, imagining myself burying a son or thinking what it would take to kill without judgment.

Page 23. An army nurse recalls, "Sometimes we massacred a whole village in revenge for one of our boys... I remember one girl lying in the dust like a broken doll with no arms and no legs... And yet we went on being surprised they didn't love us."

What a quote! "And yet we went on being surprised they didn't love us."

Some of the stories are stuck in my head. A soldier leaping into a trench-- and onto a mine. His legs were blown off. Soldiers admitting they massacred civilians in senseless acts of revenge. Their "confessions" to Alexievich-- how they turned into animals, how they can longer look at a woman, how some wish they could shoot anyone who looks at them the wrong way on the street. Those who survived saw their humanity killed off.

The Soviet Union destroyed Afghanistan. The exact number of lives lost never will be known, but the estimates of Afghan dead are staggering. The Soviets lost at least 15,000 men. Men? I should say boys. Many were conscripts, 18 to 20 years old, who had little military experience, were given unlimited guns and ammo, and learned to kill everything that moved. Alas, zinky boys. The bodies of the Soviet soldiers were shipped home in zinc coffins.

I can picture one of those coffins concealing the maimed body of a Russian teenager, lying in a drab flat in Moscow, a mother draping her body over it, crying out for her son.

Page 32. A mother, whose son was killed doing his "international duty" to defend the Motherland. "I can't carry on any longer, I just can't. I've been dying for two years now. I'm not ill, but I'm dying. My whole body is dead. I suppose we're already dead but nobody knows."

Page 53. A mother. "They brought in the coffin. I collapsed over it. I wanted to lay him out but they wouldn't allow us to open the coffin to see him... Now I just want to be in the coffin with him. I go to the cemetery, throw myself on the gravestone and cuddle him."

There are a couple common themes running through all the interviews. One is betrayal. Nearly all the soldiers and civilians who served in Afghanistan tell Alexievich they believed they were sent to Afghanistan to do good. They were there to defend an ideology, to defend Russia's borders, to help the Afghan people see the truth of socialism. After experiencing the horrors of war, they begin to question.

When they return home (often without eyes, legs, and/or arms), they feel an array of emotions: pride, revulsion, guilt, sadness, longing for love and comradeship-- bonds some mythically believed had been found in the filth of the front lines. And betrayal. Many of the boys --again, think 18 to 20 year olds-- deflect responsibility for their war crimes and place it on the monstrous Soviet government. They resent the criticism launched at them by a public that has also finally learned the truth (Moscow tried to keep secret the average yearly deployment of 100,000 Soviet troops; when the zinc coffins started coming home people began to understand what really was happening).

Some clung to hope.

Page 43. Sergeant-Major. "I accepted the official line so completely that even now, after all I've read and heard, I still have a minute hope that our lives weren't entirely wasted."

Tragedy struck more than once. Families were lied to about their sons' whereabouts (in some cases even the soldiers weren't sure where they were headed). Then the war wrecked their bodies and minds-- and tortured their emotional lives. When the soldiers returned home (alive or in a zinc coffin) they and their families were run over again-- by the shame of fighting in what many began to see as a dirty, useless war.

Yet the war's transformational power wasn't only destructive. Some soldiers admitted longing for what they had in Afghanistan that they could never get again at home: the test of their mortality, the challenge to overcome hardship, the bonds with their fellow men-at-arms. This positive feeling pales in comparison to the overwhelmingly negative vibe that pours from the pages, but it is remarkable nonetheless.

This feeling reminded me of John Keegan's final paragraph in his one-volume study of WWI.. on the mystery of that war. It might be said of many wars. "If we could understand its loves, as well as its hates, we would be nearer understanding the mystery of human life."

Alexievich also received many letters from readers which make up the final pages of Zinky Boys. Some thanked her; others excoriated her for reporting the truth. You can sense some Russians felt liberated at finally being able to criticize their government, for finally being able to learn the truth-- while at the same time being tugged the other way by guilt and shame.

I could not fathom how some Russian civilians blamed themselves for the war. In a country where the people had no say, had no access to information about what was going on? In a nation run by a monstrous government that forced mothers to bury their sons at night so few people would take notice?

Zinky Boys made me reflect on my own responsibility living in a free nation with access to information. It is a heavy question to consider. The book provides an interesting comparison to the U.S and its current wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, if you are self-secure enough to walk down that path.

Don't we also believe we are doing good? Don't we also believe we know what's best for others? Don't we also find all kinds of ways to deflect responsibility or rationalize brutal behavior? Don't we all have contradictory feelings tugging inside us, just like the soldiers interviewed by Alexievich? They hated their country for what it made them do, but some didn't necessarily hate what they did. Others did feel the burden of war crimes.

And what is it about war-- the most destructive force on earth-- that provides an opportunity to do the most productive self-reflection?

Thanks to Naeem for recommending a book that got me thinking even more-- and asking more questions-- so that I may continue to dance with my doubt.

Five stars for Zinky Boys-- a shattering book!

aleksiyevi莽'in elimde en uzun s眉re kalan kitab谋 oldu san谋r谋m. bunun nedenleri 莽e艧itli: -hakk谋nda 莽ok 莽ok az 艧ey bildi臒im bir sava艧 hakk谋nda, afgan-sscb sava艧谋 hakk谋ndayd谋. tabii ki bir s眉r眉 ar谋艧t谋rma yapt谋m ama galiba di臒er kitaplar谋 kadar i莽ine almad谋 beni.
-kitapta sscb askerleriyle yap谋lm谋艧 莽ok fazla s枚yle艧i var, anneler, hem艧ireler, e艧ler de var ama 莽ok tekrar var gibi geldi bir s眉re sonra. bir de hepsi ayn谋 艧eyi anlat谋yor: evet, 莽ok ac谋mas谋z bir sava艧, neye gittiklerini bilmeden kat谋lm谋艧lar, ya艧ananlar zaten korkun莽... di臒er kitaplarda farkl谋 b枚l眉m ba艧l谋klar谋nda farkl谋 bak谋艧 a莽谋lar谋 oluyordu.
- sava艧谋n neden ba艧ar谋s谋z oldu臒u, afganlar谋n gerilla takti臒i ve neden en ba艧ta sava艧a l眉zum g枚r眉ld眉臒眉 de a莽谋klansayd谋 ke艧ke dedim bazen.
yine de ba艧谋m谋z谋n belas谋 i艧id'in, el kaide'nin k枚keni nerede yat谋yor, abd bu i艧in neresinde, hepsi 莽谋k谋yor ara艧t谋r谋l谋nca.
kitab谋n en can ac谋t谋c谋 b枚l眉m眉 枚nce bir g眉zel d枚k眉len anne ve askerlerin sonra yazara dava a莽malar谋. bu dava da kitab谋n sonuna eklenmi艧, 莽ok da iyi olmu艧. ama i莽iniz ac谋ya ac谋ya, hatta a臒layarak okudu臒unuz baz谋 an谋lar谋n sahiplerinin o 莽irkefliklerini g枚rmek de acayip bir his. ki svetlana aleksiyevi莽'in sava艧 kar艧谋tl谋臒谋, bu 莽ocuklara nas谋l bir merhamet duydu臒u o kadar belli ki...
bu arada 莽eviri olduk莽a ba艧ar谋l谋, dipnotlar s眉per!
