Dear readers, writers and friends! We can’t wait for you to read the second issue of “The Evening Universe.”

Santa Claus is coming not only to town, but to the pages of our magazine too. In this issue, you will find some Christmas poems and short stories as well as regular poetry and fiction. We made a rigorous selection of submissions, so we strongly believe that we have published a worthy read.

The outgoing year has been a difficult one for many of us. Personally for me, it was hard even to believe that everything that happened last year in my home country, Russia, was not a nightmare, but reality. It was a miracle that I managed to create this magazine, the majority of whose authors and readers live in free Western countries. Many thanks to you all!

Let me encourage you to subscribe to our newsletter.

Happy reading! Have a wonderful Christmas and an even better New Year!

Sincerely yours,
Maxim Sviridenkov,
founder and editor-in-chief of “The Evening Universe”
