DESCRIPTION:
\n<\/strong>Sintaksis was a merely literary almanac released from December 1959 until April 1960 among the first samizdat magazines. It was published in three numbers (n. 1 \u2013 December 1959; n. 2 \u2013 February 1960 and n. 3 \u2013 April 1960).
\nThe young director Aleksandr Ginzburg was in close contact with Lianozovo\u2019s group<\/a> and participated to the gatherings in Mayakovsky Square<\/a>: after Sintaksis was closed, precisely right there, in 1961, he took part to the gathering and in front of the young people present he red the poem Chelovechesky manifest (Human manifesto) by Yuri Galanskov. Then the poem was included in another illegal almanac Feniks, that would be born soon.
\nCompared to other magazines spread later, Sintaksis\u2019 peculiarity was its circulation in two cities, Moscow and Leningrad. The almanac contained poetic voices of some tendencies different from the first generation, all included in the first and second number, and also from the second generation: the last and third number was completely dedicated to originating and active poets in Leningrad, like Iosif Brdosky, author of 5 poems (including Evrejskoe kladbishe okolo Leningrada, The Jewish cemetery near Leningrad, and Zemlya, Earth) Dmitry Bobyshev, Gleb Gorbovsky, Viktor Golyavkin (author of a few short sketch in prose like Gvozd v stole, A Nail in the table, published in nr.3 in 1960) and Mikhail Eryomin.
\nSintaksis\u2019 publication was stopped in 1960, when Ginzburg was accused and arrested for anti-Sovietic propaganda, then sentenced to two years in prison. The editor was intent to prepare a number dedicated to Lithuanian poets, but this was never issued.
\nSintaksis\u2019 experience also came across the Iron Curtain: the emigration magazine \u00abGrani\u00bb<\/a> republished the three numbers in its nr. 58, in 1965, then in 1966 a few poems were translated in Italian in the anthology Da riviste clandestine dell\u2019Unione Sovietica (From illegal magazines of Soviet Union) edited by Nicola Sorin (Sergio Rapetti<\/a>\u2019s pseudonym) and published by Jaca Book<\/a>.<\/p>\n
