In 1925–1926 "Cursed Days" ("Окаянные дни"), Bunin's diary of the years 1918–1920 started to appear in the Paris-based "Vozrozhdenye" newspaper (its final version was published by Petropolis in 1936). According to Bunin scholar Thomas Gaiton Marullo, "Cursed Days", one of the very few anti-Bolshevik diaries to be preserved from the time of the Russian Revolution and civil war, linked "Russian anti-utopian writing of the nineteenth century to its counterpart in the twentieth" and, "in its painful exposing of political and social utopias... heralded the anti-utopian writing of George Orwell and Aldous Huxley. Bunin and Zamyatin had correctly understood that the Soviet experiment was destined to self destruct," Marullo wrote.
