Russian on-line HAIKU magazine "Ulitka"

The on-line magazine ULITKA (the SNAIL),
published both in Russian and in English, is dedicated to the entire variety of haikai genres, predominantly to the haiku poetry. The main objective of the magazine is to familiarize its readers with the selected works of the Russian-speaking poets, as well as with the works of the most interesting authors writing in other languages.
We also plan to publish reviews, essays, critical and research articles on subjects related to haikai.



Интернет-журнал УЛИТКА, выходящий на русском и английском языках, ориентирован на современное многообразие жанров искусства хайкай, и прежде всего на поэзию хайку. Основная цель издания - знакомить читателя с творчеством русскоязычных поэтов, а также с произведениями наиболее интересных авторов, пишущих на других языках.
Редакция планирует также публиковать обзорные, критические, теоретические статьи и эссе на темы хайкай.

Russian Haiku
by Eugene Wasserstrom
Russian haiku resists definitions.
Like primordial soup it defies geography and structure. Bound only by its language and the Internet it finds ways to mix Russian literary tradition with Japanese style and Western logic. Not unlike many who are taken by this poetry, the Russian haiku community has yet to establish a boundary between haiku and senryu, between real and imagined, between self and the world. Everything, good or bad, is possible in this virtual thought environment that sometimes reminds me of Solaris, the planet-mind from the Stanislaw Lem science fiction novel.

From early translations of Japanese classics and occasional publications in secondary literary magazines Russian haiku sprang on the Internet, appearing first on Alexei Andreev's http://www.haiku.ru. His article "What is haiku?" still serves as a reference point for many Russian haijin.
