Chtenia Editors
Chtenia is a quarterly, themed journal of fiction and non-fiction readings translated from Russian into English. It regularly publishes Russian authors who have not previously been published in English, and publishes works of more famous Russian authors which have received less exposure or recognition. The journal was founded in 2008.
