Foreign Literature magazine has been published since 1955. Until 1943, it was published under the title "Bulletin of Foreign Literature," "Literature of the World Revolution," "International Literature." "In competition with book publishers," says Alexander Livergant, editor-in-chief of the journal "Foreign Literature," "we focus on what is not in bookstores, try to get ahead of publishers of translated literature and talk about what is happening today in the literary world."
