The third volume of Viktor Shklovsky's collected works, "Craft," brings together texts in which the renowned formalist consistently conceptualizes writing as both a professional practice and an intellectual project. Conceptually structured, these works vividly demonstrate how, in the constantly shifting cultural and political environment of the 1920s–1960s, Shklovsky transformed his own method and redefined the formalist theory of "device." In the first section, which raises questions about the poetics of genres, the history of styles, and plot construction, canonical articles from the collection "On the Theory of Prose" are juxtaposed with little-known and out-of-print works from the 1920s–1930s. Their juxtaposition allows us to trace how the language of the avant-garde gave way to the style of Soviet literary journalism, saturated with ideological norms and inevitable zones of silence. The second section presents V. Shklovsky as a literary curator, setting the paradigm of Soviet "creative writing." It includes the manuals "Techniques of the Writer's Craft" and "How to Write Screenplays," as well as other works on the topic. In them, the author explores the most relevant trends in proletarian literature—film scripts and essays. The third section consists of a single book, "Stories about Prose." This text draws on twenty years of literary scholarship, covering both the history of European prose (including Russian) and the author himself, his creative and life strategies, reflections, and linguistic explorations.
