Días malditos no es un diario en el sentido tradicional, sino una obra literaria de composición hermosa y estricta.

Set during the 1905 Revolution in southwest Russia, this is a bleak and uncompromising portrayal of the lives of two peasant brothers, "characters sunk so far below the average of intelligence as to be scarcely human."

Los escritores rusos del siglo XX han sido traducidos y leídos en Occidente sobre todo debido a su carácter innovador y vanguardista, y por el interés que han despertado sus relaciones más o menos conflictivas con el regimen sovietico. Por otra parte, a exiliados como Nabokov o Brodski les favorecio el cambio de lengua y su incorporacion a la poderosa literatura angloamericana.
