The Religious-Philosophical Seminar, meeting in Leningrad between
1974-1980, was an underground study group where young intellectuals
staged debates, read poetry and circulated their own typewritten
journal, called '37'. The group and its journal offered a platform
to poets who subsequently entered the canon of Russian verse, such
as Viktor Krivulin (1944-2001) and Elena Shvarts (1948-2010).
Josephine von Zitzewitz's new study focuses on the Seminar's
identification of culture and spirituality, which allowed
Leningrad's unofficial culture to tap into the spirit of Russian
modernism, as can be seen in '37'. This book is thus a study of a
major current in twentieth-century Russian poetry, and an enquiry
into the intersection between literary and spiritual concerns. But
it also presents case studies of five poets from a special
generation: not only Krivulin and Shvarts, but also Sergei
Stratanovskii (1944-), Oleg Okhapkin (1944-2008) and Aleksandr
Mironov (1948-2010).
