CONTENTSMarco d'Eramo: Populism and the New OligarchyTracking the terms ‘populism’ and ‘the people’ from the 19th century, Marco D’Eramo offers a striking new interpretation of their current applications—the first levelled indiscriminately at any political force that steps outside the bounds of convention, the second banished from the scene.Victor Serge: Mexican Notebooks: 1940–1947Recently discovered diaries of the exiled novelist, with portraits of associates past and present, reflections on the Second World War, and vivid descriptions of the country where Serge lived out his final years.Kirill Medvedev: Beyond the Poetics of PrivatizationAfter a long post-Soviet decade in which liberal ideas held sway, a new paradigm of politicized poetry has emerged in Russia.
