In the brief interval between the late 1970's and the end of the 20th century Russian poetry once more coalesced into groups and generated a particular semantic field that differentiated it from all previous eras. This semantic field was divided into associations, groups and "packs" (tusovki) whose membership, ethical and esthetic principles often overlapped. The classification of these groupings presented here is therefore merely an approximation. Our task in creating this site is gradually to provide as complete a picture as possible of Russian poetry at the turn of the 21st century in Russian, and in English translation. 

The English-language portion of the site is necessarily limited by the availability of quality translations. 
We will continue to add such translations to the site as they become available.
