Artaud's literary legacy is Artaud himself, as Krzysztof Matuszewski notes in the introduction to Heliogabalus, or the Crowned Anarchist.

A kind of ship of fools, drifting in and out of artistic circles.

The Herzen Library presented Alexandra Mochalova’s poetry collection “Rafferty August” I love Alexandra Mochalova’s poems because they prevent you from asking meaningless questions. For example, who needs poetry in Russia today? I love the poet Sasha Mochalova for the same thing.

Research by Herman Lubbe “Keeping up with the times. Abbreviated stay in the present" offers the experience of understanding Modernity as what is possible beyond the extremes of (right-wing) conservatism and radical (left-wing) utopianism.
