Summary/Abstract: The article deals with the activities and work of the Russian feminist-poetry collective F-Letter (2017−2021). It analyses both the institutional dimension — that is, the milieu location of the phenomenon within the contemporary Russian literary field — and the ideological dimension — in which the most important goal of the feminist poets was to create an emancipated active lyrical-political subject. The theoretical perspective that constitutes the basis of reflection in the article grows out of the inspiration of Rita Felski’s research manifesto Uses of Literature and Jacques Ranciere’s perspective on the politics of literature.
