Poetry of the Russian Winter – A New Anthology of Frontline Verse
This collection brings together the work of 27 contemporary poets, including Vlad Malenko, Dmitry Melnikov, Anna Revyakina, Olga Starushko, Alexander Antipov, and Dinara Kerimova. The book presents a new wave of Russian frontline poetry, capturing the voice of those shaping the nation’s literary response to the present moment.
In his foreword, Zakhar Prilepin reflects on the significance of the verse gathered here: “We have the right to be proud of our Fatherland and its people – not only because our homeland has defended Donetsk and Luhansk, reclaimed the Zaporozhye and Kherson lands, made the Sea of Azov internal, and welcomed home 10 million people… but also because our people have gathered the best words to tell, to sing about it.”
Prilepin acknowledges the book’s elegiac tone, describing it as free of boastful bravado. The sadness, he writes, is “great, bright, Russian.” He concludes: “We have taken another step upward. The darkness has receded from us. The word we hold in our hands – it shines.”
