Laughter, Music, and Memory at the Moment of Danger
In this article, Monika Greenleaf shows how Marina Tsvetaeva protested the erasure of her generation's intimate and embodied styles of memory by postrevolutionary historical narrative. While Soviet writers began to disappear into the Lubianka, labor camps, translation programs, children's literature, and silence in the 1930s, exiled writers found themselves in European capitals contesting the keys to legitimate memory before the emigration's frac…
In medias res
In this essay, Monika Greenleaf explores some reasons for, and directions of, the Moscow theater's growth as a cultural stimulus in Vladimir Putin's increasingly imperial, ideologically unified Russia. Focusing on four factors, the first part suggests why the theater, unlike the film industry, resisted collapse in the 1990s: directors' studio theaters, the new "writer's theater," the development of "autonomous and self-sustaining" institutions, a…

The long metaliterary excursus draws attentionawayfrom the specificity of one particular date, which the author, as it were, refuses to complete: on 1 April 1922 Nabokov's father, the respected st…
Pushkin's Byronic Apprenticeship
In this paper I have attempted to reassess the very old question of Pushkin's Byronic apprenticeship and conclusive overcoming of Romanticism in light of recent scholarship in three areas: the changing composition of the European reading public, its tastes and increasingly mass-oriented literary institutions during the period of Romanticism; the interaction of this public and the writer in creating a mass phenomenon like Byronism; and the rather …
"Pushkin's "Journey to Arzrum
Mne nenadobno puteshestvovať. la puteshestvuiu v svoem voobrazhenii," said Aleksandr Pushkin, not quite ingenuously, toward the end of his life. Pushkin's chronic desire for travel had so often been frustrated or deflected that his loudly lamented exile in the early 1820s to the Caucasus, Crimea, Bessarabia, and Odessa later came to represent, faute de mieux, the peripatetic freedom of his youth. When in 1829 Pushkin and Petr A. Viazemskii were r…
