Vol. 13 No. 1 (2018)

The 13th issue of the Children's Readings magazine is dedicated to the memory of the outstanding Russian researcher of the history of children's literature Evgenia Oskarovna Putilova (1923–2018). The preparation of the volume began at the time of the celebration of the 95th anniversary of Evgenia Oskarovna and ended in the days of mourning. Thus, some of the materials for this issue were prepared with the participation of Evgenia Oskarovna herself, and some are a tribute to her memory. The thematic block dedicated to Evgenia Oskarovna Putilova includes articles and materials related to the anniversaries of certain children's writers, children's books, and their characters. In addition, it includes publications that thematically overlap with the sphere of scientific interests of E.O. Putilova. This section opens with interviews with children's writers and researchers of children's literature, telling about the life and work of E.O. Putilova, and a conversation with Evgenia Oskarovna, recorded by the staff of the editorial board of Children's Readings. The Archive section contains a republication of articles by E.O. Putilova about children's writers Alexander Annenskaya, Maria Pozharova, Lydia Charskaya, and Leonid Panteleev.
