The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of the recent changes in Eastern Europe, and, in particular, of the dissolution of the Soviet Union, on Russian literature. Covering the six years from 1988 to 1994, the book is intended as a general introductory survey and as a sequel to my Soviet Literature in the 1980's: Decade of Transition (Toronto 1989), which investigates the period between 1978 and 1988. - from the preface by the author.
