Chtenia 01: The Hearts of Dogs The debut issue of Chtenia features fine fiction by Chekhov, Dovlatov, Grishkovets, Galina, Koval, Sergiyenko and many others, plus poetry by the likes of Kharms, Mayakovsky and Yesenin, and wonderful contemporary black and white photography, all on the theme of "The Hearts of Dogs." “Oh, how Russian Literature loves winter... it is a time when wishes come true, when families gather together, when everything in the home is transformed because, in one room, there is an evergreen, full of shimmering decorations, filling the home with its glorious aroma. ” (From the Editor’s Introduction) “Russian literature only truly noticed Siberia in the nineteenth century, and primarily as a place of exile... Gradually, however, Russian writers began to recognize a different Siberia: a richly forested Siberia where hunters roamed, a Siberia filled with villages tended by Russian settlers..." Of course, for our 13th issue, we had to take on “Luck” as our theme. But where do you look for luck in Russian literature and memoirs? How about in the works of Pushkin, Tolstoy, Bunin, Aleshkovsky, Tsvetaeva and half a dozen others? In honor of this being an Olympic year, we begin year five of Chtenia with an issue devoted to the theme of Sport. It's far from what you'd normally expect of sports writing. Everyone loves a good scary story told in the dark... So we have collected some of the great ones from Russian literature past and present, including some that purport to be true (let's hope not!).

The theme is "Three Russian Springs." "Gogol is an agonizing and painful love for Russia, from which there is no deliverance... Gogol formed us, educated us, made us, and we can now read and view Gogol with pleasure... and laugh..."(From the Editor’s Introduction) “Russian literature has so many lonely, despairing heroes whose lives have been ruined, that it seems like one cannot even begin to speak of things like hope... But of course things are not so simple..." This collection of stories, poems and photos offers an offbeat, intimate view of provincial town life in Russia. Our theme for this issue of Chtenia is "Other Worlds"– focusing readers' attention on the rich array of worlds we populate, from those immediately apparent to those less obvious. Selections include everything from science fiction to poetry to fiction centered in Central Asia and Khrushchev's Moscow. History is filled with tales of spies, infiltrators, informers and imposters. We mine Russian and Soviet literature to present a collection that is must-reading for devotees of the genre and lovers of all things Russian.

The Frogs Who Begged For A Tsar The fables of Ivan Krylov are rich fonts of Russian cultural wisdom and experience – reading and understanding them is vital to grasping the Russian worldview. This new edition of 62 of Krylov’s tales presents them side-by-side in English and Russian. Set against the backdrop of Russian history from the time of Peter the Great to the years of the post-soviet collapse, the nine stories in Vladimir's Mustache tell with great emotional honesty the story of men and women who are trapped by circumstances, alienated by history, or irrevocably estranged from the culture at large.

93 Untranslatable Russian Words Every language has concepts, ideas, words and idioms that are nearly impossible to translate into another language. This new book looks at nearly 100 such Russian words and offers paths to their understanding and translation by way of examples from literature and everyday life. Murom • Future of Orthodoxy • Saint Springs Water • Tomsk-7 • Russian Jokes Chtenia is the Russian word for “readings.” And it is the title of a year-old journal to supplement Russian Life magazine. If you love Russian Life, you will love Chtenia, because it picks up where Russian Life leaves off, offering more quality fiction, non-fiction and photography in a convenient and portable paperback book format. Summer is a time for travel and adventure. This issue's theme is "Road Trips" and includes contributions by a diverse selection of authors, from Chekhov to Koval, from Pushkin to Platonov. “To Russian literature, the Caucasus is a place of adventure... a wild, untamed region where those spoiled by civilization collide with virginal nature, with people who live simple, self-reliant lives... it is a territory of freedom, meaning free will... a place where poets and writers have found shelter...” (From the Editor’s Introduction) For well over a century, Russian city dwellers have been attracted to dacha life for the autonomy, solitude and peace it has to offer. So it is no accident that so many works of Russian literature take place in dachas – this is where people feel freer, where they open up more quickly. Our 15th collection of stories, poems and photos offers a look at Russian summer. Our theme for this bright, summer issue of Chtenia is "Horse Power"– in which every tale and memoir has to do with that noble friend. There are tales of work horses, race horses, war horses and little humpbacked horses. And always it is their interaction with and affect on us humans that makes the tale so poignant, powerful and classic.
