Gončarov als Zensor research-article Ludger Udolph Wiener Slavistisches Jahrbuch. Neue Folge, Jahrgang 8 (2020), Ausgabe 1, Seite 203 - 215 The article briefly discusses the institutions of censorship in Russia at the end of the 18th and 19th centuries and focuses on Ivan A. Goncharov as a censor. The literary and ideological criteria of Goncharov's decisions in his official duties are illustrated through several cases he had to resolve. The literary qualities of the works discussed by him were secondary to the political demands of his time, and it is instructive to see how Goncharov acted in such politically fraught questions as the promotion of the Russification in the Polish territories.
