Relations of friendship and brotherhood between the member states of the Commonwealth of Independent States are constantly being strengthened. The contribution of cultural relations to the further strengthening of friendship between nations is particularly significant. This is clearly evidenced by the 3-part anthology book published in the Russian language by the Humanistic Publishing Association (Moscow) in the series «Modern Literature of CIS Countries».

The 3-volume book of contemporary literature of the CIS countries consists of more than 1200 pages and includes the works of 11 countries and 94 authors. It contains samples of the main narrative works of the writers of the neighboring and fraternal nations, which have maintained their mutual relations for centuries.
