  • Social Condenser’ in Eldar Ryazanov’S Irony of Fate VOL
    ESSAY Soviet Bloc(k) Housing and the Self-Deprecating ‘Social Condenser’ in Eldar Ryazanov’s Irony of Fate VOL. 113 (MARCH 2021) BY LARA OLSZOWSKA A completely atypical story that could happen only and exclusively on New Year's Eve. – Eldar Ryazanov, Irony of Fate, 1976. Zhenya lives in apartment № 12 of unit 25 in the Third Builder Street, and so does Nadia, only that she lives in Leningrad, whereas Zhenya lives in Moscow. After a heavy drinking session at the bathhouse with friends on New Year’s Eve, Zhenya accidentally gets on a flight to Leningrad one of his friends had booked for himself. Still intoxicated on arrival, he gives his address to a taxi driver and arrives “home”. He lets himself into Nadia’s flat with his key – even their locks match – and falls asleep. When Nadia wakes him, the comical love story between the two takes center stage and the coincidence of their matching housing blocks seems to be little more than a funny storytelling device. Upon further examination it is far more significant. The misleading epigraph at the start of Eldar Ryazanov’s Irony of Fate quoted above links the ludicrous events that follow to the date on which they unfold. On New Year’s Day 1976, the film was first broadcast to television audiences across the Soviet Union, telling an extraordinary tale in a very ordinary place. This “atypical story” is not really a result of the magic of New Year’s Eve alone, but more so a product of its setting: a Soviet apartment in a Soviet housing block in a socialist city.

  • Preservation and Changes of Russian Culture from the Perspective of Film Language — Taking Attraction As an Example
    Preservation and Changes of Russian Culture from the Perspective of Film Language — Taking Attraction as an Example Wenhan Yang Heilongjiang University, Harbin 116085, Heilongjiang, China Email: [email protected] Abstract: The changes of Russian literature and film language, to some extent, mirror the historical process of changes of Russian culture. In the history of cultural development in several centuries, Russia has critically absorbed the achievements of Eastern and Western civilizations on the premise of preserving its own cultural background, thus forming a Russian civ- ilization with national characteristics. Taking Attraction as an example, this paper analyzes the preservation and changes of modern and contemporary Russian culture from the perspective of film language, so as to discover the changes of modern and contemporary Russian civilization. Keywords: film language, Russian culture, preservation and change, Attraction Introduction Attraction is a science fiction based love affair film directed by Fyodor Bondarchuk with the love track of the heroine Yulya as the clue, and it depicted various contradictions and tensions in social life as the earth was collapsing. In the film, there are few descriptions of battles and invasions, but love, kinship, friendship and other elements are vigorously rendered with relatively slow pace. The doomsday soft science fiction film Attraction gives a large proportion on the discussion of human nature, conveying the director and screenwriter's unique world view and cosmology, and conveying the anti-war spiritual core. 1. The preservation of Russian culture in the film language of Attraction 1.1 Preservation of love culture Love is the eternal theme of Russian films and world films.

  • Post-Soviet Transformations on Krasnaya Street, Krasnodar, Russia: an Issue-Based Case Study (First 3 Sections)
    Post-Soviet Transformations on Krasnaya Street, Krasnodar, Russia: An Issue-based Case Study (first 3 sections) Corinna Welzenbach Master of Landscape Architecture candidate University of Washington Thesis Advisors: Lynne Manzo (chair), Department of Landscape Architecture Jeff Hou, Department of Landscape Architecture James West, Department of Slavic Languages and Literatures INTRODUCTION Fall 1997: Arriving at the dilapidated tram stop, I feel a panic that I may not remember the way home. I cross the street and pass a brownfield on the way to my two-story apartment building. I memorize every detail so I won’t lose my way. I pass a market where a cow head covered in flies is for sale. The solid pink buildings surrounding me, staring, hoping I will lose my way. Fall 2009: I return to Zavodskaya (Factory) tram stop. The brownfield is now a huge parking lot, mall and movie theater with an English name:“City Center”. Blue mirrored walls of the mall and a large yellow sign invite visitors to the high-end stores and movie theater with reclining seats. The “character” I remembered, from a time when Russia was in the middle of economic collapse, was paved over very quickly. I feel a sadness thinking of the soul of a place and how it can be covered over by uncontrolled development. The research conducted in Krasnodar sought to the story of the transformation of a city, as it struggles to define itself in the post-Soviet era. This descriptive story in itself has historic value as the physical changes are an important aspect of history.

I analyze different visual and narrative strategies developed by the directors of youth cinema during the Brezhnev period as mechanisms for circumventing ideological control over cultural production.

  • 41 the PALACE AS TYPE Finding Regionalism in Soviet Modernism
    THE PALACE AS TYPE Finding Regionalism in Soviet Modernism Ashley Bigham Knowlton School of Architecture, The Ohio State University, Columbus, OH, USA Abstract In a building campaign which spanned across all Soviet Republics, public “palace” buildings were the cornerstone of the architectural image which defined a political regime. At the time of their construction, the palaces were categorized primarily by program—wedding palaces, sports palaces, cinema palaces, youth palaces and cultural palaces. This paper will compare key sites of Soviet modernism (1955-1991) in three countries surrounding the Black Sea: Ukraine, Georgia and Armenia. Using these countries as case studies, this paper will discuss two important aspects of regionalism found in these works—first, the relationship between a universal program type and the local specificity signalled by the building’s original design through the use of specific construction materials, ornamentation, and cultural references; second, the transformation the building underwent after 1991 adopting or rejecting new regional affiliations related to its geographical and political location. Keywords: Soviet architecture, regionalism, Ukraine, Georgia, Armenia The classic Soviet film, The Irony of Fate portrays the plight of Zhenya Lukashin, a helpless romantic who mistakenly ends up on a flight from Moscow to Lenningrad after a ruckus New Year’s Eve event. Unaware of his mistake and believing himself still to be in Moscow, Zhenya gives his address to a taxi driver and is promptly driven to a concrete housing tower. Still unaware of his true location, Zhenya stumbles into the building to find apartment number twelve where his key easily opens the lock. When it is later discovered that a mirrored version of his Moscow apartment exists in Lenningrad inhabited by an attractive young woman, comedy ensues.

The difference to which he refers is a manner of signification, derived from Derrida’s notion of différance, or simultaneous deferring and differing (Derrida 1976, 1978).
