This book offers a collection of essays dedicated to the writers of the “first wave” of Russian emigration—those who found themselves in exile after 1917 and have yet to reclaim their rightful place in their homeland’s literature. The focus is on figures such as Mark Aldanov, Vladimir Veidle, Gaito Gazdanov, Alexander Kuprin, Mikhail Osorgin, and Fyodor Stepun, whose lives and works intertwine both in history and within these pages. The author’s goal is to return this essential part of national culture to the reader. Each essay is self-contained, allowing the reader to start anywhere. However, the portrait of each writer deepens through their relationships with the other subjects. This structure creates a polyphonic effect, where the characters engage in dialogue—and even polemics—much like in real life.
