Abstract
The poetry of Narodnik revolutionaries is viewed in the context of interaction between literature and journalism during transition periods. A. Kholikov and V. Khruslova analyse the Poet’s Library book series, whose staff prepared poems of Narodnik revolutionaries for publication, including the anthology The Poetry of the Revolutionary Narodniks [Poeziya revolyutsionnogo narodnichestva] (2019). The article discusses the relevance of the poetry penned by Narodnik revolutionaries as perceived for the Soviet period and the current circumstances, the aesthetic value of their poetic legacy, and the multifaceted relationship of the poems with the Silver Age movement. A review of various methods used by editorial teams calls attention to the problem of cataloging magazine and newspaper material and outlines the prospects of a wider source base for contemporary research.
