This is the initial part of a larger project consisting of several separate papers. This particular paper has two parts. 1. “No Crumbs on the Table-Cloth” (a line of Pasternak’s poem) claims that a crumb motive in an early version of the poem by Boris Pasternak “Piry” (1913) reflects the initial paragraph of Dante’s Convivio with its bread metaphor (Conv. I.i.7, 10–11). Some other examples of similar echoes are quoted. 2. “The Motherland’s Shoulders” discusses the metaphor shoulders of a mountain, which can be found in a couplet by Koncheyev—a fictional poet from Vladimir Nabokov’s Dar (The Gift, 1936—37 / 1952). This metaphor was previously treated as a quote from Mandelstam’s poem “Zverinets” (1915), but here both cases (and, probably, some additional examples) are seen to go back to the same metaphor in Inf. I, 16 (where it means summit rather than mountainside) and numerous translations of Inferno into English. Keywords: 20th-Century Russian Literature, Boris Pasternak (1890—1960), “Piry” (1913 / 1928), Vladimir Nabokov (1899—1977), Dar (1936—37 / 1952), Dante Alighieri (c. 1265—1321), Allusion, In memoriam: Larisa Georgievna Stepanova (1941—2009).

In Memoriam

The article offers a list of possible iconographic subtexts of Osip Mandel’shtam’s translation of the beginning of Petrarch’s sonnet CCCXIX («I dì miei più leggier che nes(s)un cervo / Fuggir come ombra, et non vider più bene / Ch’un batter d’occhio, et poche hore serene, / Ch’amare et dolci ne la mente servo»). The most likely visual source shaping the word choice of Mandel’shtam’s translation (“Promchalis’ dni moi — kak by olenei / Kosiashchii beg. Srok schast’ia byl koroche, / Chem vzmakh resnitsy. Iz poslednei mochi / Ia v gorst’ zazhal lish’ pepel naslazhdenii”) is the tradition of depicting Time as an old man driving a chariot propelled by a couple of deer in editions of Petrarch’s Triumphs (I Trionfi, 1357—74), which Mandel’shtam possibly knew. Keywords: 20th-Century Russian Literature, Osip Mandel’shtam (1891—1938), Petrarch (1304—74), Il Canzoniere, Translation, Illustration, Iconographic Subtext, In memoriam: Larisa Georgievna Stepanova (1941—2009).

This article is an attempt to expand the chronology of a poet’s life and works as a genre. It offers not to limit a poet’s biography to poem publication dates, lists of reviews, friendships, or crucial historic events, but to include such marginal texts as rumors, and even dreams—all contributing to the existence of a poet’s name in the semiosphere.

The review article presents various views on the periodization of Russian literature in the 1920s and 1930s and provides arguments in favor of new, refined approaches to the boundaries of the period. Particularly noteworthy are the works of those authors who point to the need for an expanded understanding of the twenties. The concept of the Big Twenties is of particular value in connection with the centenary of the magazine Krasnaya Nov , which made a significant contribution to the literary process of that time.

The article analyzes War Stories (Voennye rasskazy, 1915) by Mikhail Kuzmin and offers a new interpretation of the book’s pragmatics. Most students of War Stories have not treated this collection in much detail, mainly seeing it as Kuzmin’s unsuccessful attempt to become a part of the mainstream patriotic movement during WWI. Contrary to her predecessors, Alexandra Pakhomova argues this particular book has a definite and consciously motivated authorial strategy. What Kuzmin did in War Stories was an attempt to establish his new literary reputation, and also to create an entirely new genre of short fiction in Russian literature.

Agrarian Crisis

In the context of the agrarian crisis in Russia (USSR) in the second half of the 19th and the first third of the 20th century, much attention in the socio-political literature was paid to the migration of peasants to the extensive undeveloped areas, mainly to the east of the Ural mountains. The changing characteristics of migration and migration policies during this period have resulted in a variety of methods for assessing the effects of migration. The experience of the second half of the 19th and the first third of the 20th century is interesting not only in the dynamics of assessment of the effects, but also in the logical conclusion of the study of this problem. It is known that even today the effects of migration remain a complex and largely unsolved research task.

The study analyzes the images of journalists in the works of Russian writers of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, the realities of their professional life and the place they occupied in pre-revolutionary society also. Although members of the press most often act as secondary characters in the prose and drama of M. Gorky, A.I. Kuprin, E.N. Chirikov and other authors, their actions have a significant impact on the development of the plot and the fate of the central characters. The “power” of the press over public consciousness is often evaluated negatively, but the journalist’s figure can be described in tragic tones in terms of how it is perceived by these writers. The journalist is shown as a person who bears all the hardships of forced labor, depends on money and bears the cost of a bohemian lifestyle.

In early August 2015, a serious illness robbed us of Andrej Inkret, theatre critic and professor emeritus at the Ljubljana Academy of Theatre, Radio, Film, and Television. In his nearly 40-year-long career, he established himself as one of the most important witnesses of Slovenian theatre in the second half of the 20th century.
