Convolutes of E.P. Iordansky’s personal archive as a samizdat phenomenon

The study provides a description of self-made convolutes from the archive of the poet E.P. Iordansky in terms of their belonging to samizdat practices: periodicals and the samizdat library. E.P. Iordansky’s work on the creation of underground publications is considered, as well as the influence of the “tetragism” philosophy developed by his teacher, poet A.V. Makovsky, on the structure of convolutes. The author comes to the conclusion that the “mosaic” construction is preserved in E.P. Iordansky’s printed books and notes the need for an integrated approach to the study of the samizdat phenomena.
