Authors include: Aleksandr Izmailov, Aleksandr Amfiteatrov, Aleksandr Kuprin, Aleksandr Ivanov, Aleksei Apukhtin, Aleksei Budischev, Andrei Zarin, Antoni Pogorelski, Dmitri Tzenzor, Feodor Dostoyevsky, Georgi Chulkov, Georgi Severtzev-Polilov, Gregori Danilevski, Ivan Turgenev, Konstantine Aksakov, Leo Tolstoy, Mikhail Zagostin, Nikolai Melgunov, Nikolai Geintze, Osip Senkovski, Valentin Franchich, Valeri Brusov, Valerian Olin, Vasili Zhukovski, Vladimir Odoyevski, Grigori Skovoroda, and Mitrophan Lodizhenski. I have selected the best of them for this collection, and translated them personally from the original Russian for the contemporary English reader., with a biography of each author included. Most of them have never been published in English. Daniel H. Shubin has translated from Russian into English, and written on Russian history, biography, religion and philosophy, some 30 volumes.
