Vse Techet [Everything Flows] was Grossman's first novel to be published abroad and was banned in the Soviet Union until 1989. The unfinished work (Grossman died of stomach cancer in 1964) tells the story of a man released from the Gulag after 30 years. The narrator criticises both Lenin and Stalin and details the atrocities of the Ukrainian famine, the purges and the Gulag system. Grossman was perhaps more outspoken in his denunciation of the Soviet Union as there was no question of publishing it officially.
