"We will color prose with anagrams,
And we will laugh, I swear on my mother!"
Vladimir Pavlov

First, dear readers, let us explain what the word anagram means.
An anagram is a literary device that consists of rearranging the letters or sounds
of a specific word (or phrase), resulting in another word (or phrase).
The anagram method is one of the methods of literary combinatorics (wordplay, word smiles, word ciphers)
used by poets and writers from ancient times to the present day
to create pseudonyms, character names, and titles in their works,
to conceal their deep, fundamental meanings, etc.
Anyone can find and create anagrams, training their brain and having fun.
The renowned Soviet and Russian classical philologist, literary scholar, translator (from ancient and modern languages),
poet Mikhail Gasparov described the anagram method as follows:
"That the anagram is indeed a great thing, I am encouraged by Swift,
who already mocked this method in Part III of Gulliver;
" "And Swift brilliantly chose only the most promising ideas to mock
in all sciences: universal gravitation, cybernetic machines, chlorophyll, the cerebral hemispheres..."
("Notes and Extracts").
In this article, the author will present readers with his anagram discoveries in the works
of famous Russian poets and writers, which he collected over more than 20 years.
Of course, the anagrams discovered could be random coincidences,
or they could be refinements, riddles, smiles, or wordplays by the writers themselves!
Be the judge. Let's go...
