Sanin

by Mikhail Artsybashev · first published 1907

Sanin (Russian: Санин) is a novel by the Russian writer Mikhail Artsybashev. The book was written in 1907, at a time of substantial political reaction to enormous changes in Russian society (democratic activities, first democratically elected Duma in 1906, as well as the Russian Revolution of 1905). It was banned on the grounds of pornography and blasphemy in 1908, which prevented further publication but did not immediately restrict the serialized version nor anything already published. When Artsybashev emigrated to Poland after the Russian Revolution of 1917, he was condemned by the Soviet authorities and his books were banned from publication.
