The problem of textology of the newest poetry (experience of review)

The article examines the situation in the textual criticism of the latest Russian poetry. The methods used in traditional textual studies do not quite work in relation to new literature, especially avant-garde and underground. On the one hand, in the era of modernity and avantgarde and after, many authors deform their text, abandon normative spelling, punctuation, grammar, and this requires the attention of the publisher. At the same time, many authors do not think of the text as final, creating all new versions. On the other hand, in conditions of censorship, many authors exist outside of printed publications, distributing their texts in self-publishing or not making them public at all. In this situation, the issue of the last author’s edition or the final text becomes problematic. The fate of archives is often difficult, and manuscripts are lost. The transition of many authors from paper to digital documents creates additional textual problems. Genetic editing can serve as a possible help in solving a number of such problems.
