Abstract
Shruba, M. (2018). A dictionary of the pen-names of Russian émigrés in Europe (1917- 1945). Ed. by O. Kotostelyov, with contributions from P. Lavrinets, A. Meimre, B. Ravdin, R. Timenchik, L. Fleishman et al. Moscow: NLO. (In Russ.)
M. Shruba’s dictionary contains entries on about 3,600 authors, 9,800 revealed and 8,500 unattributed pseudonyms. The research relies on more than 400 Russian émigré periodicals as well as various archived materials. The geographical framework of the research can be explained by availability of resources, as well as the significant literary, cultural and scholarly achievements of Russian emigrants in Europe during the period in question. The book may help launch a global project to create a dictionary of 20th-c. Russian pseudonyms
Supporting agencies: The review has been funded by the Russian Foundation for Basic Research (RFBR), project No. 19-013-00413-A.
