George Orwell practiced what many journalists preach, truth-telling in the face of pressure.
But decades later it’s like Groundhog Day. Perennially, politicians stage a new "deja vu all over again" action replay of Animal Farm and 1984. As Masha Karp points out, the second translation of Orwell’s fable was into Ukrainian - and thousands of copies were confiscated by the American Occupation authorities in Germany! Karp, former features editor for the BBC Russian Service goes into the Russian origins of Orwell’s worldview and reveals the author’s family connection with the Soviets and Esperanto, the artificial language that preceded Newspeak! Masha Karp discusses Orwell and the Soviets with FPA President Ian Willams. 4 pm EDT Thursday 16 November. https://neweasterneurope.eu/2023/09/11/orwells-warning-of-totalitarianism-for-today/ https://www.historytoday.com/archive/review/george-orwell-and-russia-masha-karp-review https://www.bloomsbury.com/us/george-orwell-and-russia-9781788317139/ Masha Karp is a leading scholar on the work of George Orwell. Born in Leningrad, USSR (now St Petersburg, Russia), she also translated George Orwell’s Animal Farm and its original preface ‘The Freedom of the Press’.In 1991 she moved to London to work first as a producer (1991-1997) and then as Russian Features editor (1997-2009) for the BBC World Service. Her biography of Orwell was the first to be published in Russia. |
