Andrei Nikolev's novel "On the Other Side of Tula" was published in 1931 and was one of the last modernist texts to appear in the official Soviet press. Andrei Nikolev - the pseudonym of classical philologist Andrei Nikolayevich Egunov (1895-1968), in his lifetime known primarily as a translator of Plato and ancient Greek novels. "On the Other Side of Tula" - the only surviving major prose work of Egunov (the novel "Vasily Ostrov" and the collection "Miletian novels", highly praised by Mikhail Kuzmin, have not survived). Behind the unassuming plot of a young writer spending three days in a pastoral Russian village with his friend lies not only a modernist metaromaniac in the spirit of Konstantin Vaginov, but also a witty parody of early Soviet proletarian prose. Already in the later years of the author's life, this enigmatic text, full of quotations, autoreflexion, and "metaphysical hints," acquired cult status, and in recent decades it has returned to wide readership. The present book is the first commented edition of Yegunov-Nikolev's novel.
