Russian literature has made immense contributions to world civilization, and our quarterly journal Chtenia (“readings,” in Russian) is an ongoing homage to that heritage. Chtenia is the only regularly published journal of Russian fiction in English, presenting new or long-forgotten works of classic authors like Pushkin, Gogol and Tolstoy alongside works by contemporary authors like Sorokin, Gelasimov and Slavnikova. But fiction is only the beginning. Each numbered issue has wonderful photography, memoirs, essays on popular culture, song lyrics, poetry, humor, all centered around a chosen theme. The result is a vivid snapshot of one aspect of Russian culture and life. www.russianlife.net/chtenia/
