The arena of the novel ceased to exist, until the world began to hear again about Russian literature in the early The third millennium through novelists such as:
Lyudmila Petrushevskaya, Lyudmila Ulitskaya, Yevgeny Vodolazkin... But when "Al-Mahrousa" now publishes the novel "The Melting Snows," it confirms to the reader that Russia has regained its literary status half a year ago A century of the emergence of new millennium writers.

تبوَّأ مكانةً بارزة في الأدب الروسي خاصَّةً وفي الثقافة الأوروبية عمومًا في القرن العشرين؛ فقد كان الكاتِبَ الروسيَّ الأكثر شُهرة في الغرب، طوال أكثر من نصف قرن، أنتج خلالها أكثر من مائة كتاب في شتَّى أنواع الأدب، ولكنه يُعَدُّ في المقام الأول روائيًّا رفيع المستوى. تُرجِمَت أعماله إلى أهم اللغات في العالم، ومنها اللغة العربية. يعتقد بعض النقاد الروس أن إهرنبورج أسهم أكثر من أيِّ أديبٍ آخر في تشكيل الأدب الروسي المعاصر، وأنه لا يمكن فهم تاريخ هذا الأدب، ولا التاريخ السوڤييتي عمومًا من دون إهرنبورج. نشر له مركز المحروسة ""ذَوَبان الثلوج""."
