New e-resource: Russian Avantgarde Online
Recent Helsinki University Library acquisitions:
Russian Avantgarde Online e-collection represents works of all Russian literary avant-garde schools; represented in it are more than 30 literary groups. It comprises almost 800 books, periodicals and almanacs most of them published between 1910-1940 and thus offers varied and well-balanced overview of one of the most versatile movements in Russian literature.
The collection gives pride of place to the work of such famous Russian poets as Vladimir Maiakovskii, Elena Guro, Velimir Khlebnikov, Alexei Kruchenykh, and artists N.Goncharova, G. Iakulov and K.Malevich. However, it also includes relatively unknown poets whose work has never been republished.
This comprehensive online collection enables exploration of the literary evolution of Russian Avantgarde literature year by year.
