A debut prose work edited and published by Konstantin Kuzminsky, emerged despite the author's reservations. Its evocative title spurred speculation that the book was a response to her ex-husband Eduard Limonov's novel "It's Me, Eddie" (1979). The volume is enriched by intimate and captivating photographs of the author, taken by R. Ferrantini, Y. Spilny, P. Bernard, and Mihail Chemiakin, which add a compelling visual dimension to her narrative. Notably, the book includes "The Poem in a White Dress," featuring five blank pages and concluding with the enigmatic note, "The poem is translated in all the world's languages." Konstantin Kuzminsky (1940-2015) was a pivotal figure in Leningrad's unofficial literary scene. Prior to his emigration, he curated several anthologies from his extensive archive of Soviet underground literature and art. After relocating to the United States in 1976, Kuzminsky briefly taught at the University of Texas in Austin and, alongside John Bowlt, co-founded the Institute of Modern Russian Culture at the Blue Lagoon. This institute inspired the title of Kuzminsky's renowned anthology. In 1981, Kuzminsky moved to New York, where he established his own gallery and the Podval (The Cellar) publishing house, which later operated from his residence in Lordville, PA. His literary archive is preserved at the Amherst College Center for Russian Culture. This edition draws on archival seminars from 2017 and 2018 at Amherst, delving into the history of the Anthology, Kuzminsky's contributions, the authors involved, the late Soviet underground, and the third wave of Russian emigration.

Eduard Veniaminovich Limonov (1943 2020) was a multifaceted Russian writer, poet, publicist, political dissident, and politician. Emigrating from the Soviet Union in 1974, he returned to Russia in 1991 and established the National Bolshevik Party. Although the party was banned in 2007, it was succeeded by The Other Russia, a coalition of opposition forces that Limonov helped lead in the 2000s. Codice articolo 1127
