The scholarly journal of literature Two Centuries of the Russian Classics was established by A. M. Gorky Institute of World Literature of the Russian Academy of Sciences in 2019. It is the Research Center "Russian Literature and Christian Tradition" of the IWL RAS that is engaged in selection of the articles, and their preparation to publication. Russian literature of the 18th and 19th centuries is a national treasure of the state. However, numerous unread pages remain to this day.

The main branches of literary science include literary theory, literary history and literary criticism and they are all closely interlinked in the pages of the journal.

The aim of the journal is to present a large-scale panorama of the literary process in Russia of the 18th and 19th centuries in a lively dynamics, illustrated by little-known documents and facts.
