Isaac Pulner
Compiled and edited by Valery Dymschitz
Academic Studies Press / BiblioRossica, Jewish Museum and Tolerance Center, Russian Museum of Ethnography
"In 1940, Isaac Pulner, an ethnographer from Leningrad, finished but did not manage to defend his dissertation on Jewish wedding rituals. Very soon, like many Leningraders, he died during the Siege. It is only now that his dissertation, which contains unique field studies, is finally out in print."
— Valery Dymshitz, the editor of the book, speaks about it in detail in an article for Lechaim

On History of Avant-Garde
Irina Vakar
Novoe literaturnoe obozrenie
"Publications of such experts as Vakar are events on its own...[she] goes beyond art historical clichés by addressing social realities and philosophies of avant-garde artists. Blurred concepts like 'Russian Cézannizm' or 'utopian thought' are constantly revised and their very existence is called [by her] into question."

Fragments of Literary Biography
Gleb Morev
Novoe izdatelstvo
"This new book by Morev is a rare example of smart and precise writing... He reaches such an integrity of rigorous research and deep understanding of the era that his attention to seemingly insignificant details doesn't make his subject fragmented but adds more depth to it."

Tatiana Pokrovskaya

A Novel
Iliazd
Compiled and edited by Sergey Kudryavtsev
Hylaea
A reissue of avant-garde classic, now accompanied with illustrations by Boris Konstriktor and archival reviews by Boris Poplavsky and Dmitry Svyatopolk-Mirsky.
"There was nothing similar before Iliazd in Russian literature, which is why his pessimistic novel on the fall of Leftist art has no comparisons, if only transparent writings of Khlebnikov, who also combined archaics and avant-garde."

| In Focus: Ukrainian Studies
| |
Along with the rest of the world, the staff at Academic Studies Press has been deeply troubled by the situation in Ukraine. Since our founding, our mission has been to increase knowledge within the humanities and social sciences through dialogue, research, and scholarly exchange to help promote understanding and appreciation between cultures. A significant portion of our publishing program has been devoted to Russia, Eastern and Central Europe, as well as the wider Central Asian and Caucasian world. As we watch the events in Ukraine unfold, we are deeply concerned for family, friends, authors, and colleagues in that country and region.
We have compiled a list of our own titles and books from Russian publishers available from BiblioRossica that capture the ongoing struggle in Ukraine, examine Ukrainian history, and celebrate its rich and diverse culture.
