I'm moving this piece of original research by anon from the text here:

"A public opinion survey was conducted by the Russian state agency VTsIOM and published in late 1999. It asked several thousand Russians to name the most important Russian writers of the 20th Century. Respondents were allowed to name as many choices as they liked but not a single person named Bunin, clearly showing how effective Soviet propaganda was in destroying the reputation of its opponents within Russia." --Ghirlandajo 08:19, 12 December 2005 (UTC)

"On the journey through Germany to accept the prize in Stockholm, he was detained by the Nazis, ostensibly for jewel smuggling, and forced to drink a bottle of castor oil."

How can that be in 1933?
