Cancelling Russia? Lev Tolstoy



There's a famous essay by George Orwell where he analyses the fatal hubris behind Tolstoy's denunciation of Shakespeare's King Lear as an absurdly exaggerated piece of stagecraft. The same could be said of Russian President Vladimir Putin's remarks comparing alleged attempts by the West to 'cancel' 1,000 years of Russian culture with the recent backlash against Harry Potter-creater and transgender sceptic J. K. Rowling.



The irony detected by Orwell was that Tolstoy ended up virtually reenacting the last days of Shakespeare's star-crossed King in his final flight from the mess of his private life - a tragic series of blunders retold in the Hollywood film The Last Station (2009).



The curious thing about Putin's choice of an example of (so-called) 'cancel culture' is his apparent obliviousness to the fact that he's been so often mocked for his strong resemblance to Rowling's Dobby the house-elf. Perhaps, however, the comparison all along should have been with Lord Voldemort, given their joint addiction to meaningless destruction and death.



Mind you, there is possibly a genuine case to be made about the tendency for only-too-justified outrage against distant injustice to translate into a rather more petty backlash at home.



In New Zealand, for example, our collective indignation against the French government's cynical bombing of the Rainbow Warrior in Auckland Harbour in 1985 gave strong impetus to a boycott of French products proposed by the anti-nuclear lobby. And that, to my mind, was quite fair enough.

However, when the French authorities decided to release convicted spies and saboteurs Dominique Prieur and Alain Mafart, who'd been extradited on the understanding that they would continue to serve out their sentences for manslaughter, our local rage morphed into a refusal to accept the use of the term 'French sticks' in bakeries, and even attempts to threaten and intimidate anyone who taught French.

My ex-wife was then, in the early nineties, responsible for an educational TV programme designed to facilitate the learning of French (among other languages), and I remember that she and many of her colleagues received abusive phonecalls and letters demanding that it be shut down immediately.

I suppose that such reactions seem less surprising now, given the growth of social media as the perfect platform for random abuse. Even at the time, though, it did seem to me to represent a certain confusion of cause and effect. But you can't really argue with angry zealots.


Nikolai Gogol (1809-1852)


Nikolai Gogol is among the very greatest of Russian writers. He was also a proud Ukrainian, most of whose early fiction gently satirises village life in his native region. No-one has ever questioned this fact, and - until now - I don't think it was generally thought of representing any kind of 'double life.'

Now, however, such icons of Russian culture occupy an increasingly contested ideological space. On the one hand, there's the bizarre attempt of alleged 'student of history' Vladimir Putin to deny the very existence of an independent Ukraine.

On the other hand, there are efforts by well-meaning outsiders to co-opt as many artists and writers as possible onto lists of Ukrainian heroes. Gogol undoubtedly spoke Ukrainian, but he wrote in Russian. Nevertheless, given the subject-matter of so much of his work, he does seem to me a very appropriate addition to the roll-call of Ukrainian writers. After all, the majority of Scottish writers over the years have published in English, even those fluent in Gaelic or Scots. They're no less Scottish for that.


Mikhail Bulgakov (1891-1940)


But what of that magnificent genius Mikhail Bulgakov, one of the greatest Russian writers of the twentieth century? He was born in Kiev, which is the setting for his first novel The White Guard. In its dramatised form, as 'The Days of the Turbins', this play was (allegedly) seen fifteen times by Stalin, a fact which undoubtedly saved Bulgakov's life later on, at the height of the purges.

Does that make him a 'Ukrainian writer'? His parents were Russian, he wrote in Russian, and there's no record of his even knowing Ukrainian. It would certainly make for an interesting thesis topic to focus on this aspect of his work, but not if it continues to distract us from the real point at issue.


Mikhail Bulgakov: The White Guard (1925)


The most important point, it seems to me, is that the grand tradition of Russian literature - from Pushkin's 'Bronze Horseman' to Pasternak's Dr. Zhivago - has always been against such monstrous tyrants as Putin, whether they take the form of Ivan the Terrible, Peter the Great, or Stalin himself. It's quite right for Ukrainians to proclaim and celebrate their proud artistic heritage, but it's not really for even expert outsiders to intervene in such debates, let alone the rest of us amateurs and dilettantes.



Which brings me back to the ostensible subject of this post, the great Russian writer Count Lev (or 'Leo') Tolstoy. True, he had his blindspots. He was, in fact, one of the most divided and contradictory characters who ever lived - hence the complexities of his partial self-portrait as Pierre Bezukhov in War and Peace.

He was a nobleman who preached poverty, a libertine who recommended chastity, a drunkard and glutton who promoted vegetarianism. He was a futile administrator and poor businessman who wrote in a style so luminously straightforward that it's hard to know who to compare it to except Homer. War and Peace is, in fact, a kind of Russian Iliad - and, like Homer, he followed it up with a possibly even greater masterwork, Anna Karenina.


Charles M. Schulz: Peanuts


Which is where most people tend to stop. That is, if they ever get started in the first place. There's a myth that War and Peace is one of those celebrated but unreadable books which tend to stay on the shelf with the pages untouched despite their admitted importance to world culture. You know the ones: Das Kapital, The Origin of Species, The Interpretation of Dreams, Ulysses, Moby Dick, Don Quixote ... even (dare one say it?) The Bible?

It's a shame, really, because Tolstoy is both a fantastic writer and a very readable one. Probably the best place to start is with his novellas and short stories, though: The Cossacks, Hadji Murad, the Sevastopol Tales. War and Peace makes far more sense as the culmination of all those strands of Tolstoyan obsessiveness than as a stand-alone masterpiece.

The truth of the matter, of course, is that it's Putin and his ilk who would like you to stop reading Tolstoy, Gogol and Bulgakov, not those infamous 'critics' so reputedly keen to cancel everything that moves. Anyone who could read these great Russian writers and see them as militarists would have to be severely deluded. For such an aggressive, expansionist empire, it's extraordinary how courageous and direct Russian literature has been in its analysis of the roots of violence.

So the one tiny kernel of truth in Putin's mountain of lies is this: don't give up on Russian culture just yet. Tolstoy's views on human brotherhood and resistance to evil may have seemed extraordinarily naive to most of his more worldly contemporaries but, strangely enough, it's his works on the subject which still seem worth reading more than a century on.


A-Z Quotes: Mahatma Gandhi


It's hard to imagine Gandhi without the teachings of Tolstoy. And without the example of Gandhi, there would have been no Martin Luther King.

That's not to say that non-violence is a technique that works readily against dictators, but don't be too eager to dismiss it. In the long run, one could argue, when it comes to the need to live alongside your enemies, it's perhaps the only approach that might even conceivably work. In other words, it's better to be thankful for the entangled arguments of idealists such as Tolstoy than to assume automatically that you know better.

Lev Tolstoy was that rarest and bravest of thinkers, the one who isn't afraid to look like a fool. His literary genius continues to speak for itself.
