The world of Russian literature is a world that is soaked in deep philosophy, spectacular images, moments of great laughter, and points of great tragedy.  The lives of the Russian writers themselves seem to be taken out of a great and often tragic novel.

It is interesting that of all the world literatures it is Russian literature, with figures such as Tolstoy, Dostoevsky, Pushkin, and others that stands out upon the stage. 

This site is a creation which came out of a deep love for the Russian language and its literary history.   There are over 400 biographies of Russian writers, philosophers, bards, and others.  There are many articles and analysis of poetry, poets, writers, books, plays, and others.  The site is in a constant state of change and on the right side of the screen you will see a constantly updated bar of information that has changed or been uploaded.
