Thank you so much, Larisa! That's very high praise, although I probably don't deserve neither 'Saltykov-Schedrin' nor 'American' (but for different reasons).

It's an interesting comparison. It is the same idea as Ivanov's Wednesdays, but surely this idea is very common, especially in the internet age. STSC is specifically a couple of dozens of people, some of whom are exceptionally talented—check out Vanya Bagaev!—that help each other out by discussing and sharing their creations.

My praise comes from Russian memory.The older I become the more Russian I am. S.-Sch.'s name was first in my mind as an inspiration for you, the younger generation of Russians in this country. I am preparing Blok. Would you like to translate some of his poems, if you are not very busy?
