Abstract
ABSTRACT:Ernest Hemingway’s popularity within the Soviet Union was connected to his participation in the Spanish Civil War. These activities were facilitated by Mikhail Kol’tsov, the Soviet foreign correspondent and Joseph Stalin’s unofficial man in Spain. This article examines the relationship of these two charismatic figures and suggests that much of Hemingway’s perception of events in Spain were sculpted by Soviet agents during the final, idealistic period of world revolution. For the Soviet Union, Hemingway’s anti-Fascist cultural production would be converted into ideological profits for internal and external audiences, marking the Soviet Hemingway as distinct from his western image.
摘要:海明威在苏联的知名度与他参加西班牙内战有关。这些活动是由苏联驻外记者米哈伊尔·科尔佐夫(Mikhail Kol tsov)促成的,他是约瑟夫·斯大林在西班牙的非官方人士。本文考察了这两位魅力人物的关系,并提出海明威对西班牙事件的大部分看法是由苏联特工在世界革命的最后理想主义时期塑造的。对于苏联来说,海明威的反法西斯文化生产将转化为对内对外的意识形态利益,标志着苏联的海明威与西方的海明威形象截然不同。
