  • Ogonek Digital Archive
    Ogonek Digital Archive The most important publication on Soviet culture and everyday life Ogonek was one of the oldest weekly magazines in Russia, having been in continuous publication since 1923. Ogonek had rather inauspicious beginnings. Unlike Pravda or Izvestiia, born, as they were, in the cauldrons of the Russian Revolution, Ogonek, soon after its birth in 1923, came to serve one grand purpose only – to fulfill the task of cultural validation and legitimation of the Soviet system. Ogonek would serve its mission with certain aplomb and sophistication. Lacking the crudeness and the bombast of the main organs of Communist Party propaganda, Ogonek was able to become one of the most influential shapers and reflectors of the public character of the Soviet culture. Every self-respecting Soviet intellectual was expected to read Ogonek if they were to stay informed about the cultural world in which they lived and moved. The importance of Ogonek as a primary source for research into the Soviet Union and bolshevization of its cultural and social landscapes cannot be overestimated. Because of its mass circulation and popularity, it was able to unite Soviet Union’s geographically and culturally diverse population through culturally important and imposing narratives. If in the West, and especially in the United States, cultural trends were the result of complex negotiations between market research, supply, and demand, in the Soviet Union cultural trends were more or less state approved top-down affairs. Ogonek was an important vehicle for the conveyance of the Soviet cultural idiom to the reading public. Key Stats Access over 90 years of Soviet and Russian Archive: 1923-2020 culture Language: Russian The Ogonek digital archive contains all obtainable published issues from 1923 on.

  • Missouri Through Soviet Eyes | the Confluence
    ThroughMissouri Soviet Eyes BY ILYA ILF AND YEVGENY PETROV 48 | The Confluence | Spring/Summer 2012 Good travel writing can be powerful. Few things offer new insights quite like having familiar surroundings seen through fresh eyes. When that new perspective comes from a very different cultural context, the results can be even more startling. Such is the case with Soviet satirists Evgeny Ilf (1897-1937) and Yevgeny Petrov (1903- 1942), who were immensely popular writers in the Soviet Union in the late 1920s and 1930s. While working as special correspondents for Pravda (the Communist Party newspaper in the USSR) in 1935, the two came to the United States to embark on a two-month road trip across the country and back. They bought a Ford in New York in late October, teamed up with Solomon Trone (a retired engineer who had worked in the USSR for General Electric) Ilf and Petrov made this journey along national highways and his wife, Florence, whom they met there, and drove and state routes, which traveled through small towns to California and back. In April, Ogonek magazine and the countryside.

I argue that average Soviet citizens’ view of America was primarily informed by, and closely followed that of official propaganda. Deprived of any coherent information about America, Soviet citizens fell back on pre-World War II and even pre-Revolutionary views of America as an incredibly rich yet socially unjust country dominated by an insatiable pursuit of money. While these views did not remain static they adjusted to social and political events--the changes remained on the outer layers and did not touch the foundations of ordinary Soviet people’s image of America.

  • The Legacy of Jewish-Russian Literature
    General Introduction: The Legacy of Jewish-Russian Literature By Maxim D. Shrayer DUAL LITERARY IDENTITIES What are cultures measured by? Cultural contributions are difficult to quantify and even harder to qualify without a critical judgment in hand. In the case of verbal arts, and of literature specifically, various criteria of formal perfection and originality, significance in literary history, and aspects of time, place, and milieu all contribute to the ways in which one regards a writer’s contribution. In the case of Jewish culture in Diaspora, and specifically of Jewish writing created in non-Jewish languages adopted by Jews, the reckoning of a writer’s status is riddled with a set of powerful contrapositions. Above all else, there is the duality, or multiplicity, of a writer’s own iden- tity—both Jewish and German (Heinrich Heine) or French (Marcel Proust) or Russian (Isaac Babel) or Polish (Julian Tuwim) or Hungarian (Imre Kertész) or Brazilian (Clarice Lispector) or Canadian (Mordechai Richler) or American (Bernard Malamud). Then there is the dividedly redoubled perspec- tive of a Diasporic Jew: both an in-looking outsider and an out-looking insider.
