Amazon.com Review
This novel can stand alone, though the trilogy is best read in sequence. The whole makes a Tolstoy-scale epic of Soviet life, from the idealism of youth, through the confronting of reality, to a beaten disillusion. This last volume covers the bloody decade from Stalin's Terror to the turning point of World War II in 1943. Against this depressing backdrop, however, Rybakov creates romantic tension and suspense, as the reader roots for the coming together again of Sasha, the protagonist of the earlier volumes, and his still beloved Varya. Rybakov is an old-fashioned storyteller, with a keen sense of the compelling detail.
From Publishers Weekly
The third and final volume in the saga of Soviet life under Stalin that began with Children of the Arbat and continued with Fear has the same virtues as its very impressive predecessors: a swift-moving narrative that shifts smoothly from close-up detail to panoramic social vistas, an appealing pair of star-crossed lovers at the heart of the tale and an uncanny knack for penetrating the minds of officialdom from Stalin himself on down to the lowest apparatchik. Rybakov was probably a man much like his hero, Sasha Pankratov?skeptical, even playful, but courageous in a pinch and willing always to see as much good as possible in those around him. In Dust and Ashes, Pankratov leads an uneasy life as a political outcast, separated from his beloved Varya until his imagined sins against the state are forgotten in the war against the Germans and he achieves a kind of dark apotheosis. Throughout, his adventures across a wide swath of Soviet society are compelling and convincing. Rybakov swiftly sketches opportunistic artists, cynical officials, mourning mothers, people who perform almost unnoticed good deeds in the surrounding darkness. And the interior musings of Stalin are just as surrealistically self-justifying as one imagines a paranoid dictator's would be. Brilliantly translated by Bouis (is there a better Russian literary translator around?), this novel sets the seal on one of the masterworks of contemporary Russian literature.

From Library Journal
In this conclusion to Rybakov's acclaimed "Children of the Arbat" trilogy, Sasha Pankratov, who had been condemned to the Gulag, finds himself in internal exile in a dreary city far from Moscow. Here he meets up with his old companion, Gleb, and works as a dance instructor, just trying to maintain a low profile, until the Germans attack the Soviet Union and every last citizen is called upon to protect the Motherland. Interwoven are accounts of the effort of Varya, Sasha's old flame, to help their friend Lena?now deemed an enemy of the people?and of Stalin's misperception of the Nazi threat. Rybakov paints a sweeping portrait of Stalinist times that does keep one reading, but it's too bad that the shadow of Soviet realism falls so heavily over his prose. The writing is absolutely pedestrian, and though Rybakov must be valued as a chonicler of the Soviet Terror, none of the terror comes through here. Buy where the preceding volumes were popular.

a tragic and powerful conclusion to the trilogy
By doc peterson
_Dust and Ashes_, the final book in the Arbat trilogy (beginning with Children of the Arbat and following Fear), Rybakov has Sasha Pankratov and his childhood friends endure the Second World War. As with the earlier books, no holds are barred making for jarring and at times brutal reading. Compared to the earlier books, there is a sense of urgency in the development of the plot - I imagine to give readers a sense of crisis the war presented to Soviet citizens of the time. In a similar vein, many characters and sub-plots from the previous two books are left unaddressed, a disappointment, as I like to have all the loose ends tied together. In fact, the book ends mid-way through the war, at its turning point, the battle of Kursk. At the risk of spoiling the story, _Dust and Ashes_ (as perhaps the entire trilogy) is a tragedy.
Bearing in mind that the Second World War was devastating to the USSR, Rybakov spares no sentimentality in _Dust and Ashes_ as characters readers have come to know and love struggle, suffer and die. The overarching message I took from the book was the pointless waste of the war, largely the result of Stalin's policies. In fact, Rybakov's protrayal of Stalin was of a brutish, paranoid monster - hardly the "Soviet realism" a previous reviewer accused the author of, and closer to fact than many Russian fiction writers come. His harsh assessment of Stalin in particular and of the entire Soviet system in general throughout the trilogy underscores the tragedy that was the Soviet Union for most of the 20th century, and Rybakov's accusation that much of the suffering its citizens experienced was the result of the betrayal of the ideals of the 1917 revolution by Stalin and his apparatchiks. Highly recommended for those interested in real Soviet literature.

Evocative and powerful
By A Customer
If you want sweeping naturalistic fiction that blends the oppressiveness, madness and occasional terror of Stalinist Russia with a traditional, ultimately melodramatic love story, start with Rybakov's "Children of the Arbat" and continue through the trilogy with "Fear" and this novel. Accurately or not, these novels vividly create a sense of smothered life in Russia, with characters who represent types without becoming stereotypes. These novels are page turners in the tragic Russian tradition.

The Russian Romeo and Juliet
By David Arturovitch
If you haven't read Children of the Arbat and Fear, do so - now.
If you have, get this, however difficult or expensive.
This is Russian literature at its finest - and an excellent translation.
