...enigmatic Russian artist Pavel Filonov, recognition has been painfully slow in coming. In the 1930s, the Soviet state made him a nonperson for being "hostile to socialism." Marginalized, his work banned, he died in December 1941, at the age of 58, along with more than 800,000 other victims who starved during the Nazi siege of Leningrad; his faded artistic prominence was enough to secure him no more than a grave of his own. His works resurfaced only under Mikhail Gorbachev's perestroika reform when in 1988 the State Russian Museum in Leningrad (now St. Petersburg) mounted an exhibition...
...After a slow start to the season, the Harvard wrestling team put up its most impressive performance yet this weekend, recording three comeback victories against Boston University, Brown, and Franklin & Marshall. This weekend also marked the Crimson’s home debut at the Malkin Athletic Center. Harvard wrestled without the services of two of its tri-captains this weekend—Bode Ogunwole, who is sidelined for the rest of the season due to a triceps tear, and Robbie Preston, who hurt his knee during practice on Wednesday but is expected back by next weekend. The Crimson, however, managed...

Sometimes it just takes a little time to warm up. After a slow start to the match, the Harvard men’s volleyball team hit a groove and coasted to a 3-0 (34-32, 30-15, 30-17) sweep of non-conference foe Endicott (5-4) for its first victory of the season last night at the Malkin Athletic Center. The Crimson’s middle hitters led the charge, as sophomore Brady Weissbourd and senior Andy Nelson combined for 22 kills and four blocks. “Look at them—they’re beasts...
...Russia can quote poems. They all know Pushkin poems by heart.” “I would assert that it’s partly an educational issue” adds Vasiliauskas. “I think what education can do is to cultivate a willingness to slow down and to show that [poetry] is pleasurable.” However, despite their hopes for the future, many of these poets believe that poetry will never become a part of mass culture.“Real and deep engagement with poetry will always be something rare. Difficult art will...
