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.

"Dmitri Alexandrovich Prigov (1940-2007) was a leading writer of the late Soviet and early post-Soviet era. Almost until the collapse of the Soviet Union, his writing circulated solely in unofficial samizdat editions and overseas publications. He was briefly detained in a Soviet psychiatric hospital in 1986 but released after protests from establishment literary figures. A founder of Moscow Conceptualism, Prigov was a prolific writer, in all genres, as well as an accomplished visual artist. With nearly 300 pages of prose and poetry, Soviet Texts is the first representative selected volume of Prigov's poetry and experimental prose texts to appear in English. It includes short stories about amazing heroes of the revolution and after, and poetic sequences that expose literature, history, and culture to the stark light of a post-modern Gogolian laughter, some of which became cult-classics for his generation -- such as the cycle "Image of Reagan in Soviet Literature." A selection of post-Soviet writings, concerned with human mortality and human sinfulness, is also included. While Prigov's writing is very definitely of the Soviet and post-Soviet world, it is consonant with contemporaneous avant-garde writing elsewhere. Described by some critics as Russia's ultimate post-modern trickster, Prigov mastered many personas all of which come together in what is finally an enigmatic, Warhol-esque artistic mask. Indeed, during the late Soviet period he mounted a critique of ideological culture in a similar manner to western Pop Art's engagement with consumer culture. His performative work lay the seeds for much contemporary Russian socially-engaged art, and Prigov directly encouraged and inspired the next generation of conceptual dissident artists, such as the well-known Voina (War) group and, later, Pussy Riot, who dedicated their intervention at the 2018 World Cup in Moscow to Prigov's memory. Prigov died in Moscow in 2007, at the age of 66; a lifespan longer than average for a Russian male of his generation. En route to a performance with the Voina group--for which he planned to read poems inside a wardrobe while being carried up the stairs of Moscow University--he collapsed in the subway after a heart attack."--Publisher's website, viewed July 13, 2021.

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.

At an early age, Olga Sedakova began writing poetry and, by the 1970s, had joined up with other members of Russia's underground second culture' to create a vibrant literary movement - one that was at odds with the political powers that be. This conflict prevented Sedakova's books from being published in the U.S.S.R., they were only available as hand written books. But now Sedakova has published 27 volumes of verse and prose. This is a unique introduction to her work, bringing together a memoir-essay and two poetic works.'

“Olga Sedakova is a writer of global significance. . .the publishing of this collection is a welcome stage in the reception of her exceptional genius in the West.” So writes Rowan Williams in his foreword to this translation of Old Songs. Born in Moscow in 1949, Olga Sedakova emerged as a leading writer of the late Soviet period. Since 2014, she has been an outspoken critic of Russia’s war on Ukraine. Her writing bears witness to the values of generosity, attention, and non-violence. The poems in Old Songs construct a world shaped by these values, forming a lyric sequence infused with folk wisdom and anchored in moral courage. It is a world brought into being by song, the kind passed down over cradles and on walks through the garden. These poems find their way into your memory and accompany you on your way. Sedakova is not only one of Russia’s most revered contemporary poets but also a scholar and essayist. Often compared to figures such as Czesław Miłosz, she has, with this volume (according to Rowan Williams), succeeded in “conveying the sense of a forgotten directness of perception and relation—not a lost simplicity, exactly, but a larger and more human world. . . .”
