forgotten superstars

[KENNETH NORMAN BROSTROM]

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 "Pogashennaja zvezda Borisa Pil'njaka" by Vitalij Orlov in the Washington DC-area online journal Spektr.

Cheers!

Asadov is still immensely popular.

For comparison, Google search:

59,200 for "Осип Мандельштам"
53,200 for "Эдуард Асадов"


Boris Polevoj still remains a staple of youth reading, particular for boys.


Gladilin also could hardly be considered among the forgotten:

Demian Bednyj is not the popular star of his time but also not forgotten. On Google 42,600 for "Демьян Бедный"
