Procrastination is the best way to spend a cold day...

especially when you find a gem like this website!

While its layout might be a little overwhelming, the site features wonderful texts, translations, summaries, and an encyclopedia of Soviet writers. The "Chairman (Comrade)"/Editor-in-Chief, Eric Konkol (B.A., Harvard University, Slavic Languages and Literatures), has dedicated this nonprofit educational organization to the study and preservation of Soviet Literature.

Note: SovLit was found through the blog "A Journey Round My Skull" that features beautiful illustrations and covers from "forgotten literature." I was particularly intrigued by George Kovenchuk's 1974 illustrations for Klop (The Bedbug) by Mayakovsky.

Enjoy!
