The New Review Forum

Visit the New Review Forum (or Weblog) - a new feature on the site. Easily accessible and user-friendly, it allows any visitor to publish whatever he or she may think fit.
Also, read there news and opinions (Irkutsk, the Site, Literature, Personalities, etc.) from one of the editors.

Who we are

The New Review is a collaboration of writers and journalists from Russia and Great Britain. The magazine style was set by three people, Elena Degenhardt (Munich, Germany), Melvyn Dresner (London, UK) and Sergey Karpukhin (Irkutsk, Russia). The students and the teaching staff of the faculty of philology and journalism of Irkutsk State University are supporting this site. Irk in the address of the site means that we are located in Irkutsk (Eastern Siberia), just that.

Navigating the site

Please see Submissions for our guidelines before submitting your work. Links to some friendly sites can be found in Library. In Light & noise you'll find our Forum, as well as elements of the new media, such as audio files (in the future). Prose and Poetry are where your English and Russian fiction and poems appear. Café is the place for informal discussion, polemics, etc. It is an indefinable section, the most interesting. The things that do not fit any other section are to be found here. And Reviews is where all kinds of things (books, films, plays) are reviewed.
