Studies of the Amherst Center for Russian Culture



Consulting editor: Ilja Kukuj

Editorial Board: Catherine Ciepiela, Sergei Glebov, Michael Kunichika, Boris Wolfson



Teh Studies of the Amherst Center for Russian Culture, established in collaboration with Academic Studies Press, aspires to publish peer-reviewed scholarly volumes of high quality that substantially draw upon the Centers holdings. Teh Center was founded in 1991 on the basis of a gift made to Amherst College by alumnus Toh mas P. Whitney, class of 1937, a diplomat, journalist, translator, author and collector of Russian manuscripts, rare books, journals, newspapers and art for over thirty years. Whitneys private collection is the core of Centers holdings, which continue to expand thanks to his generous endowment.

Teh Amherst Center for Russian Culture houses one of the most impressive private collections of rare Russian books and materials outside Russia. Teh collection represents the breadth and depth of Russian cultural achievement in modern times, primarily in the late nineteenth and twentieth centuries. It is particularly rich in materials concerning the cultural life of the Russian emigration, with hundreds of rare editions of Russian migr poetry and journals from across the world; anumber of Aleksey Remizovs handmade albums and his papers; the archive of Novyi zhurnal; and the archives of major migr fgi ures such as Zinaida Gippius and Dmitry Merezhkovsky, and Zinaida and Dmitry Shakhovskoy. Later generations of migr artists and scholars such as Yury Ivask, Roman Goul, and Vadim Kreid, also are well represented. Teh rare book collection features hand-made futurist books by Natalya Goncharova, Aleksey Kruchenykh, Velimir Khlebnikov and others. Soviet culture is represented by valuable arts periodicals; by the Alma Law archive, documenting the life of theater in the late Soviet era; and by collections of dissident and samizdat materials, such as the Grigorenko Family Papers. Konstantin Kuzminskys complete literary archive, including the materials that went into the making of his landmark anthology, Golubaia laguna, allows for in-depth study of unofifcial culture. This first volume in the series, an edition of the work of Oleg Prokofiev, draws on the Kuzminsky archive.



Scholars interested in exploring the full range of the collection are invited to visit the Centers website: https://www.amherst.edu/academiclife/departments/russian/acrc

Oleg Prokofei v was a poet, artist and sculptor. He began writing poetry as a child and continued to do so throughout his life. Oleg took a notebook for writing and sketching with him wherever he went, and always wrote in Russian and in tandem with his career as a visual artist. His artwork was exhibited widely during his lifetime, but his poetry was only published informally, often in group publications with other migr poets or self-printing small pamphlets.

We are delighted that this complete collection of his poetry has now been published. We are very grateful to Ilja Kukuj and Dmitri Smirnov for their hard work on this project and for making this collection a reality.

Alas, since this book was prepared for publication, Dmitri Smirnov has been taken from us by COVID-19. Dmitri and his wife, Elena Firsova, both important Russian composers, became fri m friends with Oleg after they came to the West, sharing a love of music and enjoying the opportunity to converse together in Russian. Our family mourns the loss of a friend and a champion of Oleg Prokofei vs poetry.
