Nikolay Alexeevich Pankov will be 55 in March 2011. We all know how much he did some time

ago by establishing the Dialog. Carnival. Khronotope journal, publishing many essential archive

documents, etc. Many of us know in what heavy condition he is now, having to struggle with a

cruel disease. All that reminds us of the necessity of expressing our gratitude Nikolay

Alexeevich obviously deserves, and of our duty to support our colleague in time of need.

We invite you to take part in an anniversary collection of articles in honor of Nikolay Pankov.

This is the best and the biggest we can do for him now.

Please send your materials to be published in the festschrift before December 1, 2010 to the

following address: [log in to unmask]. Articles may be of any size, in Russian or in

English. The topics are predictable and cover the things Nikolay Pankov dedicated his researcher

and publisher talent to: M.Bakhtin’s heritage and the whole wide spectrum of related issues,

history of the philological science, poetics of foreign (for Russia) literature.

If you are ready to support the idea of a festschrift in honor of Nikolay Pankov with not only a

publication, we will appreciate if you donate even a small amount of money to make the book

better. The banking details of the account where funds for the book in honor of Pankov will be

raised can be found in this file: http://nevmenandr.net/dkx/acc.pdf
