Summary:	Avant-Garde Post- follows seven Russophone poets as they reinvigorate leftist art in the wake of state socialism. Rejecting both the Putin regime--with its selective mobilizations of Soviet nostalgia--and Western discourses of liberal superiority, this circle is reviving class-based critique through experimental forms and global collaborations.

"The Russian-language avant-garde, once deeply associated with the Soviet era, has undergone a transformative revival in the last two decades. Marijeta Bozovic follows a circle of Russian, Ukrainian, and Georgian poets at the center of this new literary avant-garde: Aleksandr Skidan, Dmitry Golynko, Keti Chukhrov, Kirill Medvedev, Roman Osminkin, Pavel Arseniev, and Galina Rymbu. While their formal experiments range widely-from collective translation to digital remediation, multimedia performance, and assemblages of found text-all seven poets embrace art as a mode of political critique and collective action."--
