forgotten superstars - conclusion

[Slivkin, Yevgeniy A.]

Sluchevskii, probably, should be taken off the list. "Sovremennik" published his collection of poetry in 1988 (K.K. Sluchevskii. Stikhotvoreniia i poemy). Scholars are still interested in his work:  Elena Takho-Godi "K. Sluchevskii. Portret na pushkinskom fone"(Spb. 2000), Tat'iana Smorodinskaia "K. Sluchevskii. Nesvoevremennyi poet" (SPb 2008).

Dear Colleagues,

Thanks to the many of you who responded so quickly.  Here's a
compilation of the names suggested (in no strict order):

Vladislav Ozerov, Vladimir Benediktov, Nestor Kukol’nik, Alexander
Druzhinin, Vsevolod Garshin, Gleb Uspenskii, Konstantin Fofanov,
Anastasiia Verbitskaia, Leonid Andreev, Mikhail Artsybashev, Pavel
Mel’nikov-Pecherskii, Semen Nadson, Petr Boborykin, Nikolai
Pomialovskii, Pavel Zasodimskii, Fedor Reshetnikov, Aleksandr
Amfiteatrov, Sergei Gorodetskii, Vladimir Nemerovich-Danchenko, Dmitrii
Tsenzor, Lidiia Charskaia, Apollon Maikov, Aleksei Apukhtin, Konstantin
Sluchevskii, Demian Bednyi, Viacheslav Shishkov, Petr Pavlenko,Igor’
Serverianin, Aleksandr Sheller-Mikhailov, Semen Babaevskii, Ivan
Shevtsov, Maksim Gorky, Fedor Gladkov, Panteleimon Romanov, Boris
Pil’niak, Marietta Shaginian, Lidia Seifullina, Boris Polevoi, Eduard
Asadov, Anatolii Gladilin, Vladimir Orlov.

(I left off Fet as someone I think most Russians have not forgotten...
But as some of you suggested this whole list has an element of personal
choice; obviously, it's not simply a question of some sort of hierarchy
of talent.  We scholars, of course, do not forget!, although I admit I
had to check on some of the first names in this list.)

Perhaps we should organize a conference on the topic of "forgotten
superstars"!  Quite a rich cohort.

Thanks again,
Marcus
