Farewell from Nowhere is a semi-autobiographical novel by the dissident Russian writer Vladimir Maximov, translated into English by Michael Glenny. The novel chronicles the turbulent early life of Vladislav Samsonov, a young man navigating the brutal realities of Soviet Russia — from orphanages and labour camps to the restless margins of society. Written with raw emotional intensity and unflinching honesty, the narrative captures the resilience of the human spirit against the crushing machinery of the Soviet state. Maximov draws deeply from his own harrowing experiences to present a portrait of survival, identity, and the search for meaning in a world defined by deprivation and displacement. A landmark of Russian dissident literature, the work stands as both a personal testament and a searing indictment of totalitarianism.
