Творческая стратегия Гизеллы Лахман в контексте литературнo-социологических механизмов русского зарубежья
Gisella Lakhman’s Creative Strategy in the Context of Literary and Social Mechanisms of Russian Emigration

Summary/Abstract: The article concerns Gisella Lakhman (1895–1969), a forgotten poet of the first wave of Russian emigration. Its aim is to discuss Lakhman’s creative strategy in the context of main mechanisms and processes for the literary life of Russian interwar and post-Second World War diaspora, such as extremely difficult living conditions, deprofessionalization of the writer’s profession, a sharp reduction in the reading market, loss of ties with the native culture and language, and geographical fragmentation of the literary community. The new conditions of Russian literature abroad influenced Lakhman’s creative strategy, above all her late debut in the 1940s. The reasons and results of her decision are presented, as well as her position on the literary scene of the Russian diaspora, and the reception of her work.
