Konstantin Konstantinovich Kuzminsky (1940-2015), who often signed the KKK with his characteristic provocativeness, was one of the central figures of the unofficial literary scene of Leningrad. Even before his emigration in 1975, he compiled a number of anthologies based on his rich literary and artistic archive of the Soviet underground. After a six-month stay in Vienna and moving to the United States in 1976, Kuzminsky taught at the University of Texas at Austin and, together with John Boult, founded the Institute of Contemporary Russian Culture at the Blue Lagoon, which later gave the Anthology its name. After moving to New York in 1981, Kuzminsky organized his gallery and the publishing house of the same name, Podval, which changed several addresses, the last of which was a house on the border of Pennsylvania and New York in the village of Lordville. In 2014, Kuzminsky donated his archive to the Center for Russian culture of Amherst College. This publication was prepared on the basis of seminars on the study of the archive, held in Amherst in 2017 and 2018, and is devoted to the history of the Anthology’s conception, an analysis of its composition, the work of its authors and, first of all, the personality of its compiler Konstantin Kuzminsky. The publisher’s original is preserved in PDF A4 format layout of the book.
