Boris Pasternak, Russian author of the anti-Communist novel, Doctor Zhivago, has been awarded the 1958 Nobel Prize in literature.
The award citation stresses Pasternak's "achievement . . . in the great Russian epic tradition."
Pasternak was described last night as "one of the greatest poets of the century" by Vsevolod Setschkareff, associate professor of Slavic Literature.
The award "puts the Russian authorities in a spot," Zbiegniew Brzezinski, assistant professor of Government, said yesterday. "If they do not allow Pasternak to receive the prize in the West, they will underscore restrictions on intellectuals in Russia."
