"Art Periodical Culture examines the three journals at once as technological and sociological artifacts of a European print revival and the subsequent awakening of a Russian response to this movement. Chuchvaha also ably demonstrates that the content and form of the journals was the product of both individual and collective human struggle. Chuchvaha offers a useful volume for those wishing to study either Russia’s emergent literary culture at the end of the nineteenth century or the growth of Russian artistic theory and its broader cultural impact prior to the 1917 Revolution." - John Ellison, in: Slavic and East European Journal 61/2 (2017), 366-367"What places her work apart, however, is the primacy which she affords to the physical peculiarities of each publication, and the nature of the intermedial relations between their visual and literary texts. Taking her cue from developments in book and periodical studies, especially Gérard Genette’s insistence on the importance of paratexts, Chuchvaha attends to such critical but neglected aspects as the binding, cover, logo, and font to shed light on the materiality and agency of these remarkably creative vehicles of Modernist thought." - Rosalind Blakesley, in: The Russian Review, Volume 76, Issue 11 (January 2017), pp. 145-146
