The paper presents opinionsof other Russian modern critics whose activity is aimed at improving the conditionof the domestic literature rather than depreciating it as Nemzer does. The analysisof Nemzer’s texts proves that his criticism within the last decades has gone intothe direction of a negative critique of Russian modern literature and thus discouragingyoung talented writers in Russia.
