Literary critic and poet Tatiana Neshumova, who has devoted much of her research to Russian Silver Age literature, discusses the life and works of Russian writers V.G. Malakhieva-Mirovich, Dimitry Usov, and Evgenii Arkhippov.

Akhmetev explores the phenomenon of "deep underground" authors whose work was suppressed by the government because of the nontraditional nature of the form and ideas of their poetry.
