Though Stalin had died, Grossman had become more aware of his Jewishness, something he had previously been quite unenthusiastic about. In 1959, he completed Жизнь и судьба (Life and Fate) and submitted it for publication. It was not translated into English till 2019. This novel, based on Grossman’s experiences as a war reporter in Stalingrad, had considerable success in the Soviet Union, not least because it more or less toed the party line. In 1954, Grossmann published a novel based on his war experiences, called За правое дело.
