All Yu. Tynyanov

Yury Nikolaevich Tynyanov is a prominent Russian writer and literary critic who has survived the sensitive influence of the formalists. The notorious "techniques" and "plot unfolding" taken from the formalists tried to be applied in the work on the "Wax Person". Quite a lot studied the life and language of Peter the Great''s time. However, according to the judgment of the caustic Khodasevich, "the mixing of Peter''s style with the modern doesn''t always work out well for Tynyanov."
