Russia is reading us again...

It is not by chance that Evgeny Yevtushenko, Oleg Chukhntsev, and Evgeny Rein called Boris Slutsky a great poet, and Joseph Brodsky believed that he began writing poetry after reading Boris Slutsky. The collection includes not only practically canonical — famous masterpieces of the poet — some of which are published here for the first time without censorship corrections and previously allowed typos. There is a selection of unpublished poems, published in periodicals by the poet's loyal assistant Y. L. Boldyrev, which were not included in any of the books. And a selection of poems found in archives and published in periodicals in 2017-2018.
