The Modern Encyclopedia of East Slavic, Baltic, and Eurasian Literatures (MESBEL)This set attempts to bring together the scattered existing materials on literary figures, national literatures and related disciplines. It covers many aspects of Russian and Soviet cultural life which relate to literature and includes major emigre writers, past and present. While the emphasis is still on Russian, more attention is now given to the literatures of newly independent nations, including those of the Turkic, Armenian, Georgian, and Baltic peoples.
