Abstract
The following piece is targeted at the analysis of British and American reviews of 1967 relating to S. Alliluyeva’s “Twenty letters to a friend” and E. Ginzburg’s “Into the whirlwind” (published in English the same year in the West). The researcher restores some patterns of the evaluation of the books and concludes that both of them were regarded as constituent elements of the organic whole because of their both carrying some highly valuable information about Stalin’s USSR. The books were also interpreted as linked since Ginzburg’s memoires depicted prison life of the Soviet Union, and Alliluyeva’s evidence highlighted Soviet life from the inside.
