from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Kratkaja literature well enziklopedija ( Russian Краткая литературная энциклопедия ., Scientific transliteration Kratkaja literature well enciklopedija , abbr КЛЭ /. KLE ; "Short Literary Encyclopedia") is a Russian-speaking Literaturlexikon (people and material terms) carried by the publisher of the Soviet Encyclopedia in the years from 1962 until 1978 was released in the Soviet Union. It is considered the Soviet literary encyclopedia.

Kratkaja literaturnaja ėnciklopedija

The eight main volumes were published between 1962 and 1975, the ninth volume in 1978. The work is - apart from the obvious ideological restrictions due to the time - as a standard work, comparable to Kindler's Literature Lexicon in the German-speaking area. Initially, only three volumes were planned to be published. Alexei Surkov was the main editor of the encyclopedia since 1962. It contains over twelve thousand articles (on writers, magazines, literary terms, trends, literary groups, literary criticism and the press, etc.). The alphabetical index contains around 35,000 names, titles and terms.

Editor-in-chief of the Writers' Union of the USSR was editor-in-chief Alexei Surkov, deputy editor-in-chief Vladimir Zhdanov took over the publication and from 1969 AF Yermakov, who replaced him in this post.

Over the years, the editorial team consisted of Alexander Anikst , Viktor Winogradov , Nikolai Gudsij , Dmitri Lichachev , Leonid Timofejew , Julian Oksman and others. Among the authors were Sergei Aveverintsev , Arkady Belinkov , Abram Belkin , Mikhail Gasparov , Leonid Grossman , Jeleasar Meletinsky , Oleg Mikhailov , Irina Rodnyanskaya and many others.

The author John Glad comments on the work: “For the specialist in Russian literature, this is undoubtedly the most fundamental and important reference work of the Soviet Union.” Despite its shortcomings, the authors Barry Lewis and Michael Ulman rate it as “an achievement that comes with the best Western productions of their kind is comparable. "

The preface to the first volume states that the encyclopedia is referred to as a short encyclopedia because "it is not an exhaustive collection of literary knowledge" and the creation of a basic literary encyclopedia is "a matter of the future" that became a more complete literary encyclopedia but not published later.

The ninth volume is famous for the fact that it contained writers who were previously excluded for ideological reasons, in particular representatives of unrealistic currents in Soviet literature ( Konstantin Waginow , Alexander Vwedensky ) and the first emigration ( Georgi Adamowitsch , Don-Aminado , Nikolai Jewreinow ) .

The index does not contain the names of the emigrants of the 1970s, not even those to whom separate articles are devoted in the previous volumes of the encyclopedia ( Alexander Galitsch , Vladimir Maximov , Viktor Nekrasov ).

For example, the writers Anatoly Rybakow and Alexander Solzhenitsyn or the association of young poets, writers and visual artists called SMOG (СМОГ), founded in 1965 by Vladimir Aleinikow and Leonid Gubanov , were not accepted.
