The Gorky Institute of World Literature is a research institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences in Moscow. Not to be confused with the Gorky Literary Institute, an institute of higher education that trains writers, the A. M. Gorky Institute of World Literature is a scientific research institute and part of the Russian Academy of Sciences, it was founded on 17 September 1932 for the 40th anniversary of Maxim Gorky's literary activity, is located in the former estate of the Gagarin family in Moscow. The Institute is organized into departments, each specializing in a specific region or genre of literature; these departments include, but are not limited to the Department of Literary Theory, Old Slavic Literature, 19th Century Russian Literature, Contemporary Russian Literature and Russian Emigree Literature, Classical Western Literature and Comparative Literature, Literature of Asia and Africa, Contemporary European and American Literature, Literature of Russian Minorities and CIS Countries, Manuscripts.

There is a department devoted to how Russian Literature is taught and disseminated abroad. The Institute is home to personal archives of many writers, including Maxim Gorky and Andrei Platonov. In-house scholars devote themselves to publishing new works, visiting scholars can arrange to conduct research there, attend lectures, or speak about their work; the Gorky Institute was established in 1932 by decree of the Central Executive Committee of the Soviet Union entitled, "On the events to mark the 40th Anniversary of the Literary Activity of Maxim Gorky." The Institute was renamed from the Maxim Gorky Institute of Literature to the A. M. Gorky Institute of Literature in 1934 in accordance with another decree of the Presidium of the Central Committee, Lev Kamenev was appointed as the first director. On 14 February 1937, the Gorky Archive and Gorky Museum were added on, the latter of which opened its doors to visitors on 1 November 1937. On 4 March 1938, they opened the State Museum of Alexander Pushkin, moved to Leningrad in 1949.

SigSpec is an acronym of "SIGnificance SPECtrum" and addresses a statistical technique to provide the reliability of periodicities in a measured time series. It relies on the amplitude spectrum obtained by the Discrete Fourier transform and assigns a quantity called the spectral significance to each amplitude; this quantity is a logarithmic measure of the probability that the given amplitude level is due to white noise, in the sense of a type I error. It represents the answer to the question, “What would be the chance to obtain an amplitude like the measured one or higher, if the analysed time series were random?” SigSpec may be considered a formal extension to the Lomb-Scargle periodogram, appropriately incorporating a time series to be averaged to zero before applying the DFT, done in many practical applications. When a zero-mean corrected dataset has to be statistically compared to a random sample, the sample mean has to be zero. Considering a time series to be represented by a set of K pairs, the amplitude pdf of white noise in Fourier space, depending on frequency and phase angle may be described in terms of three parameters, α 0, β 0, θ 0, defining the “sampling profile”, according to tan ⁡ 2 θ 0 = K ∑ k = 0 K − 1 sin ⁡ 2 ω t k − 2 K ∑ k = 0 K − 1 cos ⁡ 2 ω t k − 2 + 2, α 0 = 2 K 2, β 0 = 2 K 2 ( K ∑ k = 0 K − 1 sin 2 ⁡ − [ ∑ l = 0 K − 1 sin ⁡
