Russian philology
g. Vladimir Aristov and
Ivan Zhdanov from Poetry Club and Konstantin Kedrov and Elena Katsuba from DOOS, who
all used complex metaphors which they called meta-metaphors. In St. Petersburg, members of
New Leningrad Poetry School that included not only the famous Joseph Brodsky but also
Victor Krivulin, Sergey Stratanovsky and Elena Shvarts, were prominent first in the Soviet-
times underground - and later in mainstream poetry.
Some other poets, e.g. Sergey Gandlevsky and Dmitry Vodennikov, gained popularity by
writing in a retro style, which reflected the sliding of newly-written Russian poetry into being
consciously imitative of the patterns and forms developed as early as in the 19th century.
The 21th century
In the 21st century, a new generation of Russian authors appeared differing greatly from the
postmodernist Russian prose of the late 20th century, which lead critics to speak about "new
realism"
