Babel I. {Isaac
Konarmiya English title: Red Cavalry
London: Flegon Press. Facsimile reprint of the 1928 third printing. Trade paperback. Good. 170 6 pages. Cover has some wear and soiling. Isaac Emmanuilovich Babel 13 July O.S. 1 July 1894 - 27 January 1940 was a Russian-language journalist playwright literary translator historian and Bolshevik revolutionary. He is best known as the author of Red Cavalry Story of My Dovecote and Tales of Odessa all of which are considered masterpieces of Russian literature. Babel has also been acclaimed as "the greatest prose writer of Russian Jewry". Loyal to but not uncritical of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union Babel fell victim to Joseph Stalin's Great Purge as a result of his long-term affair with the wife of NKVD chief Nikolai Yezhov. Babel was arrested by the NKVD at Peredelkino on the night of 15 May 1939. After confessing under interrogation to being a Trotskyist terrorist and foreign spy he was shot on 27 January 1940. There is very little information about Babel's whereabouts during and after the October Revolution. According to one of his stories "The Road" he served on the Romanian front until early December 1917. He resurfaced in Petrograd in March 1918 as a reporter for Gorky's Menshevik newspaper Novaya zhizn "New Life". Babel continued publishing there until Novaya zhizn was forcibly closed on Lenin's orders in July 1918. In 1920 Babel was assigned to Komandarm Semyon Budyonny's 1st Cavalry Army witnessing a military campaign of the Polish-Soviet War of 1920. Virtually all of the newly independent neighbors began fighting over borders. He documented the horrors of the war he witnessed in the 1920 Diary which he later used to write Red Cavalry Konarmiya a collection of short stories such as "Crossing the River Zbrucz" and "My First Goose". The horrific violence of Red Cavalry seemed to harshly contrast the gentle nature of Babel himself. Flegon Press paperback

He studied at several universities in Germany and was known as one of the 'Heidelberg SRs'. His friendship with N.D. Avksentiev and A.R. Gots dates from that period. He joined the Socialist-Revolutionary Party PSR in 1901 and returned to Russia in 1904. Arrested at the beginning of the Revolution of 1905 and sentenced to five years banishment in Siberia he escaped to Western Europe then returned to St. Petersburg in 1906. He worked for the PSR in various capacities and was elected to its Central Committee. He was active in Moscow St. Petersburg and Kiev. In September 1906 he was arrested again and banished to Siberia. In 1907 he escaped making his way to Western Europe via Japan Shanghai Hong Kong Singapore Colombo and the Suez Canal. He soon returned illegally to Russia. Arrested again in 1910 Zenzinov was banished to northern Yakutsk to make escape impossible. There he devoted himself to ethnographic studies and wrote several pioneering anthropological works on the subject e.g. : Starinnye liudi u kholodnogo okeana Moscow 1914 and Ocherki torgovli na severe Yakutskoi oblasti Moscow 1916. In his memoirs he tells of some extremely isolated places he visited such as the village of Russkoye Ustye in the Arctic Yakutia. In 1915 Zenzinov returned to European Russia and lived in Moscow and St. Petersburg. He participated in the February Revolution of 1917 played various roles in the All-Russian Soviet of Workers' Soldiers' and Peasants' Deputies and supported the Provisional Government under A.F. Kerensky. With respect to World War I which bitterly divided the PSR Zenzinov adopted a 'Revolutionary Defencist' position: opposed to the war before the February Revolution he supported the 'defence of the revolution' against Germany. Zenzinov tried to mediate between more radical 'Defencists' like A.A. Argunov and the 'Internationalists' led by V.M. Chernov and M.A. Natanson. Zenzinov opposed the October Revolution. He was elected as an SR deputy to the one-day Constituent Assembly dispersed by the Bolsheviks in 1918. Thereafter Zenzinov joined the rump Constituent Assembly government in Samara in 1918. He was briefly one of the Directors of the Provisional All-Russian Government together with N.D. Avksentiev and others. Arrested during a military coup by Admiral Kolchak in November 1918 Zenzinov was exiled to China. From there he made his way back to Western Europe. He lived in Berlin until Hitler came to power in 1933 then moved to Paris. During this time he published several more books and worked for a variety of �migr� socialist journals including Volya Rossiya Golos Rossii Dni Novaya Rossiya and Sovremennye Zapiski. In 1939 Zenzinov went to Finland to witness the beginning of World War II and the Soviet attack on Finland and to gather information on Russia. In 1940 Zenzinov emigrated to the United States settling in New York and writing his memoirs."
