This article discusses the most important results and materials presented at the Verse Studies section of Gasparov Lectures 2007–2019, an annual conference held in Moscow every April since 2007 in memory of the prominent Russian scholar Mikhail L. Gasparov (1935–2005). It aims to present the current state of affairs in Russian verse studies, to sum up some of their recent achievements, to identify the main controversies that act as their growth points, and to highlight the most promising areas of current research into versification.
