Abstract
When he was already widely known, Sholom Aleichem wrote about his secret dream swim in the ocean of Russian literature and expressed confidence that this is absolutely sure to happen, then added sadly: It's a pity I won't live to see it. Nearly fifty years have passed since the death of the great Jewish writer. His works now belong to the people and have indeed merged into the vast ocean of our multinational literature. A few years ago, Goslitizdat published a six-volume collection of his writings in a printing of 225,000, while the Sovetskii pisatel' Press published A. Kogan's novel, Sholom Aleikhem (Moscow, 1961), and I. Serebrianyi's book, Sholom Aleichem and Folk Literature [Sholom Aleikhem i narodnoe tvorchestvo] (Moscow, 1959). Now we have still another book — G. Remenik's sketch on the writer's life and work.*
