ABSTRACT The article proposes a new approach to reconstructing post-Holocaust Soviet Jewish identity and culture through the concept of the Soviet Jewish bookshelf as the basis of Soviet Jews’ makeshift Jewish heritage. Using Michael Rothberg’s notion of “multidirectional memory,” it argues that the post-Holocaust tasks of bearing witness to the destruction and of preserving the Jewish remnant gave birth to a Jewish reading culture in the Soviet Union, which in many, if not most cases, was not explicitly Holocaust centered. The article analyzes three case studies emerging out of this culture and the various “Aesopian” reading strategies it elicited: the first Soviet guidebook to Israel, science fiction prose of the Strugatskii brothers, and the historical novels of Lion Feuchtwanger.

字里行间：苏联犹太书架和大屠杀后的苏联犹太人身份

摘要 本文通过将苏联犹太人书架作为苏联犹太人临时犹太人遗产的基础这一概念，提出了一种重建大屠杀后苏联犹太人身份和文化的新方法。使用迈克尔·罗斯伯格 (Michael Rothberg) 的“多向记忆”概念，它认为，大屠杀后见证毁灭和保护犹太残余的任务在苏联催生了一种犹太阅读文化，在许多情况下，如果不是大多数情况下，并没有明确以大屠杀为中心。本文分析了源自这种文化的三个案例研究及其引发的各种“伊索”阅读策略：第一本苏联以色列指南、Strugatskii 兄弟的科幻散文和 Lion Feuchtwanger 的历史小说。
