Abstract
This article examines Soviet theorist Aleksandr Bogdanov’s physiological collectivism, which builds around the idea of mutual blood exchange as a method of eroding borders between individuals to increase the resilience of the social organism as a whole; and reconceptualizes community as a network of material connections between the cells of said organism. The COVID-19 pandemic increased interest in convalescent plasma (CP). This article examines the physiological collective together with theorists like Jane Bennett and Donna Haraway as a basis for how convalescent plasma can function as a first step towards establishing material community today.

Russian Literature combines issues devoted to special topics of Russian literature with contributions on related subjects in Croatian, Serbian, Czech, Slovak and Polish literatures. Moreover, several issues each year contain articles on heterogeneous subjects concerning Russian Literature.
