Anyuta’s Nihilism

Sofya Kovalevskaya

Chapter Chapter Nine in A Russian Childhood, 1978, pp 145-154 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract At the time when Anyuta was dreaming of knights and shedding bitter tears over the fate of Edith of the swan’s neck and Harold the last of the Saxon kings, most intellectual young people in other parts of Russia were caught up in quite a different current, quite different ideals. Anyuta’s enthusiasms, therefore, might seem strangely anachronistic. But that small corner where Palibino was situated was so remote from all the centers, fenced off from the outside world by such thick, high walls, that the wave of new ideas did not reach our quiet cove until long after it had swelled and risen into the open sea.
