This thesis aims to introduce the figure of Gustaw Herling-Grudziński and his view of communism in Soviet Russia. He was one of the few writers who dared to equate Nazism with Stalinism, focusing on what these totalitarian systems represented rather than the ideologies they followed. This work presents Gustaw Herling-Grudziński's thoughts on communism, contained in his most important literary works, and confronts his point of view with two important Polish war writers - Tadeusz Borowski and Czesław Miłosz. This work also analyzes Herling's opinion on the vision of the communist system contained in the works of eminent Russian writers such as Aleksandr Isaevič Solženicyn and Varlam Tichonovič Šalamov. The thesis also presents Herling's reflections on the origins and fall of Soviet communism, also present in Poland in the second half of the 20th century. The paper also highlights the important distinction Herling made between Russia and the Soviet Union.
Questa tesi si propone di introdurre la figura di Gustaw Herling-Grudziński e la sua visione del comunismo nella Russia sovietica. Era uno dei pochi scrittori che osarono equiparare il nazismo allo stalinismo, concentrandosi su ciò che rappresentavano questi sistemi totalitari piuttosto che sulle ideologie che seguivano. Questo lavoro presenta i pensieri di Gustaw Herling-Grudziński sul comunismo, contenuti nelle sue opere letterarie più importanti, e confronta il suo punto di vista con due importanti scrittori di guerra polacchi: Tadeusz Borowski e Czesław Miłosz. Questo lavoro analizza anche l'opinione di Herling sulla visione del sistema comunista contenuta nelle opere di eminenti scrittori russi come Aleksandr Isaevič Solženicyn e Varlam Tichonovič Šalamov. La tesi presenta anche le riflessioni di Herling sulle origini e sulla caduta del comunismo sovietico, presente anche in Polonia nella seconda metà del XX secolo. La tesi evidenzia anche l'importante distinzione operata da Herling tra Russia e Unione Sovietica.
