The centerpiece of this issue is a comprehensive selection of publications dedicated to the 100th anniversary of G.Ya. Baklanov - a remarkable writer, public figure, and chief editor of 'Znamya' during the pivotal years of 1986-1993. The daughter of the writer, Alexandra Popoff, and our authors Nikolai Podosokorsky, Andrey Dmitriev, Oleg Yermakov, Anatoly Kurchatkin, Alexander Livergant, share their memories, impressions of Grigory Yakovlevich's personality, reflections on his classic books. The pages of memory are concluded by a short essay by Sergey Filatov, whose life was cut short while the September issue was already in print.
We usually say that our journal remains 'Baklanovian' - addressing contemporary concerns, rich in its aesthetic spectrum, uniting experienced masters with literary newcomers. The editorial hopes that this is confirmed by the poems of Pavel Grushko, Vasily Natsentov, Alexandra Gorokhova, and Tatiana Nozdrina. The uniqueness of creative styles also characterizes the prose of the issue - the fairy tale novel 'Rafting' by Saule Kaldybayeva, presented by Elena Chizhova, the experimental narrative 'Kindergarten, or a philosophical moment' by Nikita Nemtsev, stories by Vecheslav Kazakevich, Galina Kalinkina, and Alexandra Bruy.
The attention of many readers, whose lives are spent in constant communication with terminally ill loved ones, will surely be drawn to the documentary novel 'Alzheimer's Beckar' by Victoria Djamgaryan. Naum Korzhavin's monologues bring to life the 1989 diaries of Gennady Evgrafov. Irina Vinokurova's monograph 'Nina Berberova: Known and Unknown' prompts reflections by Andrey Aryev on the heroic everyday life of the Russian emigration.
And it is quite natural that the reminder of the past is inseparably linked in 'Znamya' with monitoring literary processes and current events. The traditional section 'Nomenclature' is enriched by Gennady Katzov's essay on the work and fate of Ivan Zhdanov. The 'Conference Hall' debates whether the curious, intelligent, and selfless reader will disappear in the near future, with contributions from Evgeny Abdulayev, Olga Balla, Sergey Borovikov, Olga Bugoslavskaya, Alexander Livergant, Alexander Melikhov, Nikolai Podosokorsky, and Maria Chernyak. 'Recounting' led by Ilya Kochergin accounts for the literary fauna of dogs, cats, bears, and other animals in autumn.
The well-known circumstances of time and place certainly do not contribute to serene optimism. However, worthy books are still being published, and they are discussed in the journal section 'Observer'. Alexander Vergelis talks about Alexey Purin's collection 'Lost Allusions', Irina Kadochnikova discusses Nadya Delaland's book of poems 'Voices in the Head', Darya Ledneva reviews Islam Khanipayev's novel 'Cold Eyes'. Alexey Moshkov presents Alexey Kudryakov's comedy 'Academy of the Future'. Alexander Markov responds to Maria Lobanova's poetry book with the extravagant title 'Drilbu'. Ilona Shevtsova focuses on Ekaterina Perchenkova's stories with the no less extravagant title 'Lies, Science Fiction, and About the Insane'. Translated books are not forgotten. Anna Alikevich reflects on the research of American Slavist Barbara Engel 'Women in Russia', Dmitry Bavilsky introduces readers to the collection of essays by British museum curator Calum Storry, Alexander Chantsev recommends the cult book for the Japanese 'Dogra Magra' by Kyusaku Yumeno.
And finally. Anna Nuzhdina tells the brief history of the 'Current Criticism' project, while Olga Balla in her 'Shorthand' brings together such diverse books as the new edition of the diaries and letters of Yevgeny Schwartz, the essays hidden under the pseudonym Yakov Senkin, and the collage homage 'The Extermination of the Persians', which Tatiana Tolstaya dedicated to the memory of Alexander Timofeevsky, her friend and constant interlocutor.
