This book is about the birth and necessity of international Russian—language literature: literature without state and topographical borders, free from the artificial isolation into which the Russian word has been driven by politics.Russian literature created outside of Russia — in Europe, America, and Israel — naturally becomes different. It regains the human dimension lost during the century of totalitarianism, the right to individuality, privacy, and an inner voice. This is literature written from within an anthropomorphic world, where a person is recognized as valuable.The book contains poems written in the last three years — a time of war, violence, historical disruption, and forced emigration. Russia's attack on Ukraine, terror against Israel, rocket attacks, a constant sense of vulnerability — all this is not a background, but a reality through which a poetic word passes.For the author, poetry is not an aesthetic gesture, but a way of survival, a form of resistance to dehumanization, an attempt to preserve inner peace and pass on this experience to others. There is both direct speech and the fixation of existential states — "writing for oneself", from which grows literature that is needed not only today, but also tomorrow.The book is addressed to those who are looking for honest conversation in Russian poetry, not comforting myths, about themselves, about time, about a person.
