Grani is a Russian émigré journal published by Narodno-trudovoĭ soiuz (National Alliance of Russian Solidarists, known by
its Russian abbreviation "NTS") largest and most active political association of Russian émigrés in Western Germany. Grani
first appeared in 1946. The aims which Grani set itself were to preserve and develop Russian literature, which under Stalin
became a tool of the regime.
In the post-Stalin era, when there was a fresh breeze of relative freedom and possibly the suspicion of a thaw for the first
time in quarter of century, Russian literature showed signs of rebirth. Unfortunately, the anticipated spring thaw never came.
It was at this time that a trickle of manuscripts found their way to the West. These manuscripts later became known as "samizdat"
(self-publication). ). Such literature was available only as handwritten or typewritten copies, distributed secretly among
trusted people.
Grani opened its pages to this ever-increasing flow and published works by a number of prominent Russian authors. These included
Boris Pasternak, Bella Akhmadulina, Georgiĭ Vladimov, Vladimir Voĭnovich, Evgenia Ginzburg, Aleksandr Galich, Bulat Okudzhava,
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn, and Varlaam Shalamov.
