This work focuses on the specific features of the reception of V. Grossman's novel "Life and Fate" in conservative Soviet press of the late 1980s. It is noted that most of the reviews appeared in two conservative journals: "Nash sovremennik" ("Our Contemporary") and "Molodaya gvardiya" ("The Young Guard"). All the articles contained copious critical remarks which, in their turn, were all caused by the ethnic problems highlighted in the novel. The author's attitude to those issues was usually qualified by the critics as being Russophobic and once the accusation was made, the plot of the novel would be neglected, which testifies to the fact of all the reviewers being biased.

The article studies and comments some of military essays written by a famous Soviet novelist and war correspondent V.S. Grossman in the second half of 1944, during a Red Army offensive. The texts are cited from newspapers and journals of that era.

Below are fragments of the investigation file of A.Z. LezhnevGorelik dating back to 1937. The source of the material is Central Archive of the Federal Security Service (FSB) of the Russian Federation. Provided with the fragments are the publisher's notes.

The article focuses on the edition evolution of V. Grossman's "Good wishes to you!". Based on the textological juxtaposition of the different editions – from the less complete ones of 1965 and 1967 to the most complete of 1988 – the researcher concludes that the publicistic basis of the essay remained unchanged – only the intensity of the publicistic judgments varied.
