forgotten superstars

[Brewer, Michael]

The more interesting questions are for whom are these people superstars or forgotten superstars and why ?

There are superstars in Russia that are less so in the West. There are superstars among scholars (and which are taught in universities) that are not in the public (or even those that are superstars among scholars, but are little taught in literature classes). There are superstars now (whether in the public or academic realm, in Russia or in the West) that were not during their lifetimes (or visa versa).

The numbers below caused me to do a check for 
Boris Pil'njak (16,900), which doesn't exactly 
make him 'forgotten,' but fading, I guess.  One 
of the first links is:

http://www.spectr.org/1999/017/orlov.htm

to an article entitled "èÓ“ý¯ÂÌÌýþ Á’ÂÁ”ý ÅÓ•ËÒý 
èËθÌþÍý" (Pogashennaja zvezda Borisa Pil'njaka) 
by Vitalij Orlov in the Washington DC-area online 
journal Spektr.

Cheers!
