Texts by four poets: Vadim Shefner, Robert Rozhdestvensky, Lev Loseff and Maria Stepanova, have been added to the Poetry corpus. The size of the update is 200,000 words, 2,000 texts, and 44,000 verse lines. The whole corpus features almost 3 million lines.

Searching for a word at the beginning and at the end of a poetic line is available. One can easily find that the characteristic poetisms ужель ('is it so?') or вотще ('in vain') are more often found at the beginning of a line than in any other position of the verse.
