John Steinbeck, in his travel book, A Russian Journal (1948) has a great quote about the perception of cameras among people who have been through war: There was some reluctance about letting a cameraman into the Soviet Union, and none about letting me in,…
……当我得知《查理与我同行》（Travels with Charley）几乎全凭捏造时，这彻底动摇了我对他“纪实”手法的看法。这让我不禁怀疑他在《俄罗斯纪行》等其他作品里到底用了多少艺术加工（literary license）。
…really shook my perception of his "journalistic" approach when I learned that Travels with Charley was almost entirely made up. Makes me wonder how much literary license he used in other books like A Russian Journal.
…think for yourself, the more dangerous you were to the party. It's not an accident that people are scared to criticize these governments. That's where John Steinbeck really fucked up in his book the Russian Journal. Saying "Oh, do you know anyone that's disappeared because of the soviet regime". If you don't know any Russians (at the time)... I mean, duh, you're probably not going to. But talk to even one dissident…
It's not unlikely that Stalin would personally have been involved. Steinbeck traveled to the USSR just prior 1948, writing A Russian Journal[1] which portrayed the Soviet Union in a moderately positive light. Given Steinbeck's fame and the extremely limited amount of travel US Citizens did the US at this time it's likely Stalin knew about…
Running for weeks is a very short run! Something happened! And Steinbeck was famous in Russia for releasing his fairly positive "A Russian Journal" around the same time. It's impossible to know who exactly ordered it, but it is likely Stalin was aware of it being shown.
约翰·斯坦贝克在他的游记《俄罗斯纪行》（A Russian Journal，1948年）中有一段绝妙的名言，描述了经历过战争的人对相机的看法：他们对放摄影师进入苏联有些顾虑，但对我入境却毫无异议……

……你越有独立思考能力，对党来说你就越危险。人们害怕批评这些政府绝非偶然。这就是约翰·斯坦贝克在他的书《俄罗斯纪行》里真正栽跟头的地方。居然说什么“哦，你认识因为苏联体制而人间蒸发的人吗？”如果你（当时）压根不认识任何苏联人……我是说，废话，你大概率一个都不认识。但哪怕你去跟一个持不同政见者聊聊……

斯大林亲自介入这件事并非没有可能。斯坦贝克在 1948 年前夕造访了苏联，写下了《俄罗斯纪行》[1]，在书中对苏联给予了相对正面的描绘。考虑到斯坦贝克的名气，以及当时美国人前往苏联的旅行极其罕见，斯大林很可能知道……

就上映了几周，档期可真够短的！肯定出事了！而且斯坦贝克在俄罗斯名气很大，因为他几乎在同一时间出版了评价相当正面的《俄罗斯纪行》。根本无从查证究竟是谁下达的命令，但斯大林很有可能是知晓这部片子放映情况的。
