Аннотация:The chapter examines the history and politics of the reception, translations, publishing and teaching of Ralph Ellison's works in the USSR and post-Soviet Russia. It considers Ellison's paradoxical status of an 'invisible classic' - almost unknown to the common Russian reader (due to the fact that Invisible Man still remains untranslated into Russian), but very well known to the Russian scholars specializing in American literature. Tracing the complex dynamic of Ellison's image and reputation in the USSR/Russia since 1960s, when his novel was for the first time mentioned by the Soviet literary critics, through the late Soviet decades up to the present day, the chapter uses a variety of materials, including periodicals, archived documents, correspondence and memories.
