Summary/Abstract: In this critical essay I have been trying to compare the experiences of the two major French writers, André Gide and André Malraux, taking into account their testimonials after coming back from USSR, le retour de l URSS, both of them being invited to take a documentation trip and being rewarded with great honors, but both of them manage to understand the toxic secluded zone of left side totalitarian society, observing the good and the bad sides of the same Truth, the mix between dark and bright shades of Russian soviet life.
