《阿尔巴特街的儿女们》是苏联作家阿纳托利·雷巴科夫前前后后花了三十余年写成的一部长篇小说。早在四十年代末和五十年代初,作者就开始为创作这部小说准备材料。但是,他的创作构思得以实现的“真正机会”①则是在苏共二十大之后,不过严格说来,创作的真正开始还是在50年代末。1966年,他完成了小说的第一部分,《新世界》杂志主编特瓦尔多夫斯基看后,倍加称赞,当即在该刊上作了发表的预告,然而,却未能兑现。1978年,《十月》杂志再次预告将在1979年发表,但是同样没有兑现。 “Children of Arbat Street” is a novel written over thirty years before and after the Soviet writer Anatoly Rybakov. As early as the late 1940s and early 1950s, the author began to prepare materials for the creation of this novel. However, his “real chance” of realizing the creative idea was after the twentieth Congress of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, but strictly speaking, the real beginning of his creation was still in the late 1950s. In 1966, after completing the first part of the novel, Trwoldoffski, editor of New World magazine, praised him for making a preview of the publication immediately. However, he failed to fulfill his promise. In 1978, “October” magazine again promulgated in 1979, but also did not materialize.
