Magazine "Banner" No. 9. 2020

Of course, every magazine book is just part of the literature. But we want this part to be representative. And therefore, in the September issue, next to the long -awaited poetic publications of Sergei Gandlevsky and Timur Kibirov, not only verses of the reader Marina Kursanova and Mikhail Kukin, but also a selection of Alexandra Shalashova, who first appeared on the Znamensky pages, are adjacent to the reader. The same in prose, where the debut for the “banner” of the publication of Vladimir Varava and Dmitry Prokofiev deserve the same, we are convinced of the serious attention, as the movie history of Alexei Slapovsky or the new stories of our regular authors Lev Usyskin and Mikhail Bar.
The “Unbatild” section, traditional for the banner, is made up of the pages from the creative heritage of Dmitry Savitsky “A holiday that ...” and the thoughts of Vladimir Sharov about Russian society and state institutions on the threshold of the third millennium. The “Year of Pasternak” is continued by excerpts of memories and letters from the personal archive of Anna William. The life, poems and lessons of Konstantin Levin are dedicated to the memoir outline of Lyudmila Sergeyeva, and Konstantin Lvov and Andrei Ustinov introduce the reader with the truly unique fate of Venedikt Marta, all, seemingly forgotten “poet with a calendar surname”. In the same series, the “literary crumbs” of Evgeny Abdullaev, leading bridges between the past literature and her today.
Pandemia: a blow to education? - Here is the topic of a round table, dedicated to the beginning of the next, but turned out to be such an unusual school year in secondary and higher schools. Olga Bull also addresses the same topic of coronavirus call, looking at the most interesting pages of literary periodicals in the first half of 2020 in the “re -study”.
