Shenderovich V. Devjanoska

Author Shenderovich V.
Title Devjanoska
Description Viktor Shenderovich is a prose writer, satirist, and public commentator who spent decades observing Russian life from within. Devyanoska brings together texts from very different years and arranges them into a long historical arc, stretching from the Andropov era to late Putin. The volume includes short prose and aphorisms. It also contains poems and scripts, including pieces that had never appeared in print before. Shenderovich looks at these decades as someone who sensed the early symptoms long before the disaster became obvious. He asks why the country kept returning to unfreedom and at what point the warning signs stopped being heard. He describes himself less as a chronicler than as a reagent, and that word fits the book well. His texts show how meaning changes over time. A line written many years ago may suddenly sound painfully current. Devyanoska rests on memory and on an unusual clarity of historical feeling.
