Just a note in passing: As early as 1963 EP's German translator Eva Hesse had put tother EP's writings on the No, Fenollosas essay on the Chinese character and Eisenstein writings into one volume. I even remember that somebody had talked or written about some connection between EP and Maxim Gorki, referring to a kind of poetological triangle EP - Eisenstein - Gorki. But still I can't remember much having been written on EP and Russia... alex
