The military poetry of Aleksandr Korotko is again in the columns of the British edition “East-West Review”, which is published under the editorship of the famous editor, supporter of Korotko’s work – Andrew Sheppard and under the patronage of the royal family.

This time, Korotko’s works open the autumn issue of the publication. In the previous spring/summer 2022 issue, the magazine “East-West Review” already included four poems by Aleksandr Korotko, written in the early days of Russia’s war with Ukraine.
