Breaking Stalin's Nose
Breaking Stalin's Nose | Eugene Yelchin
5 posts | 9 read | 7 to read
"Breaking Stalin's Nose" is one of "Horn Book"'s Best Fiction Books of 2011 Sasha Zaichik has known the laws of the Soviet Young Pioneers since the age of six: "The Young Pioneer is devoted to Comrade Stalin, the Communist Party, and Communism.""A Young Pioneer is a reliable comrade and always acts according to conscience.""A Young Pioneer has a right to criticize shortcomings."But now that it is finally time to join the Young Pioneers, the day Sasha has awaited for so long, everything seems to go awry. He breaks a classmate's glasses with a snowball. He accidentally damages a bust of Stalin in the school hallway. And worst of all, his father, the best Communist he knows, was arrested just last night. Eugene Yelchin's moving story of a ten-year-old boy's world shattering is masterful in its simplicity, powerful in its message, and heartbreaking in its plausibility.

Outstanding juvenile fiction about the Stalinist purges from the point of view of a 10-year-old who in the course of 24 hours, has his entire life and every belief he held turned upside down. https://cannonballread.com/2023/01/breaking-stalins-nose-elcicco/

I have to use someone else's review.

"An important book for all people living in free society." Peter Sis, Author of The Wall

I could not imagine living in such terror. Twenty million people died under Stalin. And the illustrations are perfect. A student's face would be inked out if his/her parents were an "enemy".
