Original research by Lunacharsky

On September 12, 2001, at Kiev University, Pavel Andreevich Bugaenko, a professor at Saratov University, successfully defended his doctoral dissertation on the topic "A. V. Lunacharsky and the Literary Movement of the 20s", published in a separate book. I begin with these preliminary clarifications, because not only the general readership, but also specialists in Bulgaria learn very little about what is published in the Soviet Union outside of Moscow and Leningrad. Perhaps this applies more to literary critics, because, as far as I know, every physicist or biologist must, in principle, be informed about all the novelties in his field, otherwise he risks starting to work on a problem that others have already solved. For specialists in the humanities, this rule does not always seem to be mandatory. And recently, a number of phenomena in the development of literary literature have been radically reassessed, and separate trends, styles, and aesthetic categories are being clarified in a different way; there are attempts to read the classics in a new way, etc.
