#019 - Post-Soviet Russian Literature with Bradley Gorski and Yasha Klots

In this episode of The Long View, Bradley Gorski and Yasha Klots discuss the evolution of Russian literature after the collapse of the Soviet Union.

The conversation explores the transition from Soviet era ideological publishing to the chaotic and dynamic literary marketplace of the 1990s, the lifting of censorship, the return of previously banned works, and the emergence of new literary voices and genres in post Soviet Russia.

Together, the speakers examine how political change, market forces, and shifting cultural expectations transformed Russian literary life after 1991.
