Synopsis

Translated from the Russian by Genya Turovskaya and Stephanie Sandler. THE RUSSIAN VERSION is a collection of poems that spans Russia's post-Soviet era. Acclaimed journalist and poet, Elena Fanailova tells stories about the various social layers of a stratified and conflicted nation, reclaiming the poet's role as social critic, while scrutinizing her own position as citizen and poet. Fanailova's political lyricism casts personal pain into the net of historical suffering. THE RUSSIAN VERSION received the 2010 Best Translated Book Award for Poetry from Three Percent. THE RUSSIAN VERSION includes an introduction by Russian poet and critic Aleksandr Skidan. The 2019 second edition of THE RUSSIAN VERSION (first published by UDP in 2009) includes a more recent long poem, 'Lena and Lena.'
