This is an official publication of the International Vladimir Nabokov Symposium proceedings. Most papers published on this website are in English. Several scholars requested that their papers, delivered in Russian, were published in the original. Papers in English are accompanied by their summaries in Russian and visa versa. Some of the papers delivered at the Nabokov Symposium will be published in a Russian-language collection; its publication is scheduled for the summer/fall 2003.
Several VNS participants have requested that the publication of their work online were postponed. In such cases, we published only abstracts of their papers in both languages. Most scholars have placed their e-mail address at the end of the paper for questions and comments.
