In this editorial introduction, Russian Literature Editor-in-chief Ellen Rutten uses four images to share with readers a selection of recent and upcoming publications issued by the journal. On the basis of this selection, she explains which types of publications the current editorial board aims to bring together. As Rutten argues, Russian Literature today acts as a) a platform for the publication of relevant archival finds and empirical analyses of Slavic literatures; b) a space for debates about the theoretical and methodological study of these materials; and c) a place for thinking about fan fiction, rap, and other practices that scholars may not yet have ranked as literature per se.
