Sergei Kostyrko

Together with political, social and cultural rupture, Russia was
witness, in the early nineties, to the development of the Internet.
With it, literature recovered its status as an aesthetic and
intellectual phenomenon. A new literary panorama opened up before the
reader, where writers who put their work on the Net converge with those
up to now governed by the demands of state magazines, publishers and
channels. The editor of the digital version of the magazine Novi mir,
writer Sergei Kostyrko, analyses the role of the Internet as literary
channel, the new publishers and virtual authors, and the coexistence of
all this with traditional forms of literature.
