In the journal’s first section “Issledovaniia i materialy” (“Articles and Notes”), a reader will find thirteen articles on 19th to 21st-century Russian literature (e.g., on Ivan Krylov, Alexander Pushkin, Mikhail Bulgakov, Anna Akhmatova, Sergei Gandlevsky, etc.) and also on Russian and East European history (including the history of Soviet terror). The same section includes a prefaced publication of Juri Lotman’s brief note on Sergei Eisenstein and Vladimir Mayakovky, which he wrote for his student in the Spring of 1970, and softly encouraged to publish under her name in Materialy XXV nauchnoi konferentsii molodykh filologov (Proceedings of 25th Junior Scholar Conference).
