Legenda ("Legend" in Polish and Russian) may refer to
Legenda (Latin, "things to be read") is an imprint founded in 1995 by the European Humanities Research Centre at Oxford University. In 2004 it became an imprint of the Modern Humanities Research Association, in partnership with Maney Publishing. Under the guidance of Malcolm Bowie, late Master of Christ's College, Cambridge, this new press underwent rapid growth. Recent successes include Clive Scott's Channel Crossings: French and English Poetry in Dialogue 1550-2000, which was awarded the 2004 Gapper Prize as the best contribution to French studies of its year, and Shun-liang Chao's Rethinking the Concept of the Grotesque: Crasahw, Baudelaire, Magritte, which was awarded an honourable mention for the 2013 Anna Balakian Prize by the International Comparative Literature Association..
Legenda, or the MKRC Legenda system, is a Soviet satellite targeting system mated to the SS-N-19 missile. It consisted of the US-P SIGINT satellites and the US-A Radar Ocean reconnaissance satellites, which were nuclear powered.
Legenda is now believed to be non-functional after the US-A sats were deactivated.
The shades of evening
Were falling fast
My body shivering
In the cold
A light wind casts
Her odour in my wake
Her eyes reminding me
Of my eternal agony
Her lifeless pale face
In the stare of my eyes
Her bloodless weak body
At the moment of the
Blackened sky
As the sand absorbed
The drizzling rain
It sucked in her reddish blood
I made her die
The black sky
Please forgive me
