Which government censored Grossman's major literary works?
Stalin's government
Putin's government
Khrushchev's government
Brezhnev's government
Answer
Khrushchev's government censored Grossman's major literary works because it believed that his work was critical of the Soviet Union. Grossman's novel, Life and Fate, was particularly controversial, as it depicted the horrors of the Holocaust and the Stalinist regime. The novel was not published in the Soviet Union until after Khrushchev's death, and even then it was heavily censored.
