Russophone Poetry in Diaspora of North America: Past and Future.

• In Event: Russophone Poetry in the Diaspora

Abstract

Russophone poetry and literature as a whole last several years underwent significant changes. Until recently there were four more or less defined waves of Russophone literature. Relatively free movements and exchange occurred since the collapse of the Soviet system. Internet played a major role in connecting various segments of Russian culture abroad. Recent global political changes brought a major shift: decentralization of Russian culture, utilization of common literary language. However, differences lye in cultural idiom of Russophone literature in Russia, whatever remains unsuppressed, North America, Europe and especially Israel, where a major influx of creative talent occurred (relocation due to the war). These points will be illustrated (including visual presentation) and developed.
