Abstract
The article describes the history of the samizdat journal Transponans, which was published by Sergej Sigej and Ry Nikonova in an edition of five copies in the town of Ejsk from 1979 to 1987. The journal gathered round itself the leading figures of the artistic and literary avant-garde of that time and considered it its task to form a bridge with the historical avant-garde. There is a detailed discussion of the origin of the journal, its previous history (in particular the publications of the so-called “Uktus school” and its journal Nomer) and the place it has in the work of its publishers and in the “unofficial” literary process of the 1980s. In the appendices are some visual texts by Nikonova and Sigej and a number of manifestos of the “transfurists”, who were the kernel of the Transponans collective.
