Nina Iskrenko Archive

The Nina Iskrenko archive was transferred to Garage Museum of Contemporary Art in 2025, with the permission of her son Alexander Kuznetsov and support from publisher and poet Mikhail Bordunovsky. The archive contains dozens of items, including sheets with Iskrenko’s works on paper, her notebooks with manuscripts, and her samizdat work Almanac of Liberal Form and Content (1991), published in an edition of one. Nina Iskrenko (1951–1995) was a poet, translator, and prose writer. She graduated in Physics from Moscow State University (1974) and worked as a translator of scientific and technical literature. In the late 1980s, she became a member and the unofficial leader of the Poetry Club, whose members included Evgeny Bunimovich, Alexei Parshchikov, Dmitri Prigov, and Olga Sedakova. She did not publish her work until perestroika. Her first official publication appeared in 1987, in the “Test Bench” column of the magazine Yunost.
