This is a 1996 study of the extraordinary diversity and range of satirical writing in Russian literature. Through the close analysis of seminal satirical texts written by five Russian and émigré authors in the 1970s and 1980s, Karen Ryan-Hayes demonstrates that formal and thematic parody is pervasive.
