Galushkin (1960–2014), the last of Viktor Shklovsky’s literary secretaries, the creator of one of the first independent philological journals in Russia “De Visu”, the long-term employee of the IWL RAS, and the head of the Literary Heritage Department, reflects the main areas of his research interests.

The section “From the Documentary Biography of E.I. Zamyatin” presents materials for the book of the same name prepared by A.Yu. Galushkin on the basis of his works on Zamyatin; as an appendix, his PhD thesis “Discussion on B. Pilnyak and E. Zamyatin in the Context of Literary Policy of the Late 1920s — Early 1930s” with author’s corrections and additions is published for the first time.
