Fascinating ... packed with original essays, projects and even conceptual fiction.

TLS Book of the Year 2017

With contributions from an impressive list of artists, curators, theorists and historians, this book offers an incredible insight into not only contemporary writing on Russian art but writing as art in Russia.

Adrian George, previously curator at Tate, and author of The Curator's Handbook

Fascinating! More proof of the continued vibrancy of Russian art: modern, postmodern or cosmic, despite the fringe ideas increasingly becoming mainstream.

Alena Ledeneva, Director, UCL FRINGE Centre

An excellent initiative to shed light in the English speaking world on Russian writing about and by contemporary artists. It will help give them a broader audience and spark important cross-cultural debate.

Andrew Jack, journalist for the Financial Times

A fascinating collection of essays, full of stimulating paradoxes, which perfectly reflects the intensity of debate on the contemporary Russian art scene, as precarious in everyday life as it is majestic in its cosmic dreams.

Ekaterina Degot, Alexander Rodchenko School of Photography and New Media, Moscow

Zaytseva and Anikina's comprehensive anthology illuminates the constellation of Russian art across realism and fantasy, Communism and Cosmism, orthodoxy and perpetual revolution.

Gilda Williams, author of How to Write about Contemporary Art
