Vtoraja polovina doklada posvjaščena vosprijatiju Vaginova v Čechoslovakii konca 1980-ch — načala 1990-ch godov.

Abstract (in English)

This paper discusses the history of the publication in Czechoslovakia of the works by Konstantin Vaginov (1899–1934), the Russian prose writer and poet, a member of the OBERIU group, and the perception of Vaginov by Czech literary scholars and translators. In the USSR, Vaginov was published during his lifetime, but all of his posthumous publications in his homeland date back to the Perestroika and post-Perestroika era. However, in the 1970s and 1980s, Vaginov's poems and novels were published in a tamizdat (in the United States and Germany), and even earlier, in 1967, were translated into Czech and published in socialist Czechoslovakia. The paper discusses how this became possible and who exactly contributed to this publication. Whereas in the 1960s in Czechoslovakia Vaginov was perceived as more of an avant-garde poet, at the very end of the 1980s Czech readers, along with Russians, discovered Vaginov the novelist. Czech literary scholarship of that era attempts to fit Vaginov's prose legacy into the framework of various literary traditions. The second half of the paper focuses on the perception of Vaginov in Czechoslovakia in the late 1980s and early 1990s.
