This book is one of the most significant works on the literature of the decade following the Russian Revolution. It provides an in-depth analysis of key literary movements of the time, including Futurism, Imaginism, and Constructivism.
Published in 1928, the book features a chapter on Leon Trotsky, who was exiled the same year. It also includes a chapter on Nikolai Bukharin, who was executed in 1938. Due to its association with these political figures, the book was eventually banned.
