Signed Russian Emigree Book The Soviet Secret MuseAutograph

  

From the Poems of Soviet Poets Written Off-Print / ed. In the publisher's typeface cover. In good condition, a slight crease in the lower right corner of the front cover. The block is mostly clean. In his collection, Boris Filippov included poems by Soviet poets that were impossible to publish in Russia at the time: Marina Tsvetaeva, Boris Slutsky, Fyodor Sologub, Alexander Yesenin-Volpin, etc.

These poems were copied by hand and circulated in copies throughout the Soviet Union. Some of them were sent to the West at the risk of their lives. Filippov writes that all the poems included in the collection are distinguished by their complete sincerity and spontaneity: after all, they were written without any regard for Soviet censorship, they were not written for publication..
