	Electronic Journal of Australian and New Zealand History:
		In covering the several bizarre aspects of the Ern Malley affair, particularly its final paradox - that Malley is now ensconced in the Australian literary canon - Heyward's knowledge of both Ern's literary heritage and his social milieu are well matched in a work in which one is aware of a lot going on.
		The Ern Malley affair is the play within the play of Australia's reactions to the warring literary movements of the twentieth century, against the backdrop of Australia's closest experience of actual armed conflict, albeit largely from the distance of the all-pervading suburban philistinism of the first half of the twentieth century.
		Heyward's account of McAuley's growing disaffection with romanticism and symbolism is juxtaposed with his growing self- image as a 'disappointed radical', culminating in his decision not to be a conscientious objector and to acquiesce in being conscripted into the army.

	The Murder of S.M. Kirov
		After the murder of Kirov, top functionaries of the Leningrad NKVD were relieved of their duties and were given very light sentences, but in 1937 they were shot.
		We also now know that the Leningrad NKVD handed Stalin such anti-Zinoviev agent reports (having to do with the alleged 'Green Lamp' and 'Svoiaki' operations) on December 2, the day after the assassination and the same day that he began telling people that Zinovievists were to blame.
		In these materials there is a clear tendency to explain Kirov's murder as 'negligence' of the Leningrad division of the NKVD and also to attribute the murder committed by Nikolaev as the planned work of the supporters of Trotsky and Zinoviev in Moscow and Leningrad.

	Leningrad to besiege Riga's Kipsala Hall
		The concert, which takes place at Kipsala Hall on Aug. 28, should be a very heated affair, as Leningrad is not exactly known for its on-stage timidity.
		Leningrad is also responsible for what must surely be the most downloaded ring tone in recent Russian history.
		Leningrad had previously played in Estonia in 2001 and 2002.

	The 1936 Luzin affair
		This book gives a full account of the "Luzin affair" of 1936, when an attempt was made to discredit the Russian mathematician Nikolai Luzin and have him expelled from the Academy of Sciences.
		Details of the affair became available from about 1990 onwards, and an investigation, originally led by the late A. Yushkevich, was set on foot; its results are described in the present volume.
		The Academy and the Steklov Institute were both moved from Leningrad to Moscow in 1934, with the intention of giving the Academy a leading role in the development of Soviet science, making it a world leader, under the control of the Party and the Government.

		Leningrad was surrounded and cut off from the outside world for 900 days.
		Following in the footsteps of such past rulers as Ivan the Terrible, Peter the Great, Stalin, and Brezhnev, Gorbachev inherited a stagnating economy, an entrenched bureaucracy, and a population that had lived in fear and mistrust of their previous leaders.

	The New York Review of Books: STALIN'S BAD CHARACTER
		It is true that he had sent his incompetent crony, Voroshilov, to Leningrad to direct the city's defense—a questionable blessing and one which probably was designed more to have someone there to keep an eye on Zhdanov than a burning desire to protect the city.
		The mission of Malenkov, Molotov and Co., to Leningrad in late August-early September, 1941 was hardly lacking in political motivation.
		If what happened to the Leningrad siege after the "Leningrad Affair" of 1948 does not resemble Orwell's memory hole more closely than the official British policy on war records I should be greatly surprised.

		Eight months ago, on December 19, 1980, the Chairman of the Department of Foreign Languages at the Mukhina College of Applied Arts in Leningrad, Professor Konstantin Azadovsky, was seized on the street.
		All this may seem odd to you, but it should be remembered that the whole thing took place in Leningrad, which enjoys the reputation of "the cradle of revolution" and therefore the local KGB apparatus is given an absolutely free hand.
		In Leningrad they are not, nor are they afraid of foreign journalists, as is often the case in Moscow.

	Krushchev's Secret Speech
		It was because Stalin personally supervised the "Leningrad affair," and the majority of the Politbiuro members did not, at that time, know all of the circumstances in these matters and could not therefore intervene.
		Actually there was no "affair" outside of the declaration of the woman doctor [Lidiya] Timashuk, who was probably influenced or ordered by someone (after all, she was an unofficial collaborator of the organs of state security) to write Stalin a letter in which she declared that doctors were applying supposedly improper methods of medical treatment.
		Instead of examining this affair and taking appropriate steps, Stalin allowed the liquidation of Ordzhonikidze's brother and brought Ordzhonikidze himself to such a state that he was forced to shoot himself.

	Authors' response: Cold Peace: Stalin and the Soviet Ruling Circle, 1945–1953
		Dobson posits that a recent article by David Brandenberger, in which he suggests that the Leningrad Affair was driven in large measure by ‘fundamental ideological issues’ (specifically the future of a Russian party within the RSRSR), can be contrasted with our attribution of the purge to ‘factional infighting in the Kremlin’.
		In fact, it is highly unlikely that Malenkov and Beria wanted the Leningrad Affair to ‘erupt’ as it did.
		Equally, in the Gosplan Affair, the enmity between Beria and Voznesenskii was secondary.

	Review: Cold Peace: Stalin and the Soviet Ruling Circle, 1945–1953
		Although he recognises the importance of the factional hostilities, Brandenberger argues that Kuznetsov was targeted because of his belief that a committee should be created to organise party matters within the RSFSR, perhaps even that a Russian party should be formed.
		He argues that ‘attributing the whole Leningrad Affair to factional infighting in the Kremlin – a single grand narrative played out over the course of many years – ignores the ideological dimensions of the purge, particularly the idiosyncratic charges of “Russian nationalism” and RKP (b) factionalism that circulated during the affair’.
		In a response in January 2005, Richard Bidlack argued that the purge was aimed at the ‘Leningrad cabal’, not at an ‘ideological deviation’.

		And in the Zinoviev-Kamenev affair dozens of people were implicated who were already demoralized for the most part and who accused themselves and others of non-existent crimes.
		The trial of the members of the Leningrad GPU and the very formulation of the verdict demonstrate irrefutably that Kirov’s assassination did not happen without the GPU having had a hand in it.
		It turns out that in June 1934, Kamenev went personally to Leningrad; “where he ordered the active Zinovievist, Yakovlev, to prepare, parallel to the Nikolaev-Kotolynov group, an attempt on Kirov”; in addition Kamenev tells Yakovlev that other groups are preparing terrorist acts as well: in Moscow against Stalin; in Leningrad, the Rumiantsev-Kotolynov group against Kirov.

		At the end of the war the most likely successor seemed to be Andrei Zhdanov, party leader in Leningrad during the war and placed in charge of all cultural matters in 1946.
		Zhdanov died suddenly in August 1948, and Beria and Malenkov then moved to consolidate their power with a purge of Zhdanovs associates known as the Leningrad Affair.

	H-Net Review: James Voorhees on Cold Peace: Stalin and the Soviet Ruling Circle, 1945-1953
		The Zhdanovshchina, the Leningrad Affair, and Lysenko's domination of Soviet biology were all products of Stalin's will.
		The need to reach decisions collectively and collaborate in doing so became especially clear after the Leningrad affair showed that Stalin had not completely abandoned the murderous methods of the 1930s.
		Yet he did not kill them, as he did Vosnesensky and Kuznetsov in the Leningrad Affair, and he allowed them to stay in Moscow.

		It's already been ascertained over the years that Stalin was a nasty piece of work and that the siege of Leningrad was a horrible wartime endurance event that killed more than a million people.
		They show in detail how the Soviet leader not only added to the sufferings of his besieged civilians, but then persecuted the city's leaders in a maniacal travesty of justice known as the Leningrad Affair.
		Using the new documents, old footage and photos, interviews with survivors and historians, diary extracts and re-enactments, this is not just a rehash of history but an absorbing, disturbing re-telling.
