The canon of Russian poetry has been reshaped since the fall of the Soviet Union. A multi-authored study of changing cultural memory and identity, this revisionary work charts Russia’s shifting relationship to its own literature in the face of social upheaval. Literary canon and national identity are inextricably tied together, the composition of a canon being the attempt to single out those literary works that best express a nation’s culture. This process is, of course, fluid and subject to significant shifts, particularly at times of epochal change. This volume explores changes in the canon of twentieth-century Russian poetry from the 1991 collapse of the Soviet Union to the end of Putin’s second term as Russian President in 2008. In the wake of major institutional changes, such as the abolition of state censorship and the introduction of a market economy, the way was open for wholesale reinterpretation of twentieth-century poets such as Iosif Brodskii, Anna Akhmatova and Osip Mandel′shtam, their works and their lives. In the last twenty years many critics have discussed the possibility of various coexisting canons rooted in official and non-official literature and suggested replacing the term "Soviet literature" with a new definition – "Russian literature of the Soviet period". Contributions to this volume explore the multiple factors involved in reshaping the canon, understood as a body of literary texts given exemplary or representative status as "classics". Among factors which may influence the composition of the canon are educational institutions, competing views of scholars and critics, including figures outside Russia, and the self-canonising activity of poets themselves. Canon revision further reflects contemporary concerns with the destabilising effects of emigration and the internet, and the desire to reconnect with pre-revolutionary cultural traditions through a narrative of the past which foregrounds continuity. Despite persistent nostalgic yearnings in some quarters for a single canon, the current situation is defiantly diverse, balancing both the Soviet literary tradition and the parallel contemporaneous literary worlds of the emigration and the underground. Required reading for students, teachers and lovers of Russian literature, Twentieth-Century Russian Poetry brings our understanding of post-Soviet Russia up to date.

Elena Andreevna Shvarts (1948-2010), one of the foremost Russian-language poets of the post-World-War-II period, emerged as a central figure in the "Unofficial Culture" that began with the "Thaw" following Stalin's death in 1953, reached a first peak in the 1960s, and then went "underground" turn after the general disillusionment following the invasion of Czechoslovakia in August 1968. Cutting all ties with the officially-sanctioned artist establishment, the Unofficial Culture set up in its own "invisible" institutions, centered around self-published magazines and books - samizdat - apartment seminars, and apartment galleries. Its adherents gave birth to the first independent literary prize in the Soviet Union, the Andrey Bely prize, which was established in 1978 and is still awarded annually. Shvarts won this prize for poetry in 1979. In the mid-1980s Shvarts became a leading figure among the poets, painters, and musicians who rejected the cold war conformist-dissident model of Soviet artistic culture for what might be deemed Soviet counter-culture, which emphasized personal autonomy, non-ideological values, and an intentional re-engagement with Modernism. With the collapse of the Soviet Union in the 1990s and the rise of Gorbachev's glasnost, Shvarts' poetry directly engaged Russia's "brave new world" both in subject and forms. In more than 800 poems she explored more genres and employed a richer vocabulary than any of her contemporaries and sometimes included shocking subjects of rape, suicide, and murder. In 2003, Shvarts won the Nikolai Gogol Award for The Visible Side of Life (Vidimaia storona zhizni). This bi-lingual translation of her selected poetry and prose includes translations that span Shvarts's poetic career - from the earliest poem she chose to save (1962) to her last poem (2010) - and for the first time her prose. Opening with a substantial introduction highlighting biographical details, the social and political context of Shvarts's work, and an assessment of her overall artistic achievement, the book includes 62 shorter poems (between eight lines and five pages), three longer poems (eight, nine, and twelve pages), and literary prose of varying subjects and lengths. The book also includes photographs of the poet, her doodlings, and several manuscript pages.
