"Glas has published 75 titles over 24 years, but, since half of them are anthologies, these volumes contain 170 different authors “representing various trends and types” of Russian literature." Glas books twice won the Rossica Prize, and were praised by George Steiner, Isaiah Berlin and Tibor Fischer. It suspended activity in 2014. Reception Tibor Fischer, writing in ''The Guardian'', said: "It is a tribute to the material in Glas 40: War and Peace that it reads almost as if no one has written about war before. Glas magazine, which launches Russian writing into the English-speaking world, has quietly championed some forgotten, some unrecognised and some new writers, and it has hit the jackpot with this collection."
