  • Russia Through the Eyes of the Tagores: Travelogues of Rabindranath and Saumyendranath
    Rupkatha Journal on Interdisciplinary Studies in Humanities (ISSN 0975-2935) Indexed by Web of Science, Scopus, DOAJ, ERIHPLUS Themed Issue on “India and Travel Narratives” (Vol. 12, No. 3, 2020) Guest-edited by: Ms. Somdatta Mandal, PhD Full Text: http://rupkatha.com/V12/n3/v12n322.pdf DOI: https://dx.doi.org/10.21659/rupkatha.v12n3.22 Russia through the Eyes of the Tagores: Travelogues of Rabindranath and Saumyendranath Sajal Dey Department of Russian Studies, the English and Foreign Languages University, Shillong Campus, Umshing-Mawkynroh, Shillong, Meghalaya, India. Email: [email protected] Abstract Two Tagores, two visionaries; one as a poet-educationist, another as a revolutionary-politician, both from colonial India, then reeling under the British yoke, visited Russia at about the same time. While the elder Tagore, Nobel-laureate Rabindranath, was moved by the huge scale of development, mainly on the educational front, -- the younger and the more rebellious one, Soumyendranath, studied deeply, paused, and raised questions, debated and disputed the gap between the so-called socialist theory and practice in Soviet Russia. Rabindranath wanted to visit post-revolution Russia for quite some time. After a few futile attempts his desire was ultimately fulfilled in 1930. What he primarily wanted to see was the all-embracing spread of education in the Soviet system and its results. His Russiar Chithi, or Letters from Russia bears testimony to his impression of the new ‘awakened’ Russia. In the very first line of his first letter from Moscow he writes, “In Russia at last! Whichever way I look, I am filled with wonder.” In spite of a few adverse comments that he made later on, this feeling of ‘wonder’ about Russia lasted throughout the collection.

Surrounded by Germany, France, and Italy, Switzerland was one of the few European counties to maintain its neutrality during the war that transformed Europe into a graveyard. It also became an ideal sanctuary for those who opposed the brutality and strident nationalism of World War I.

  • Constructing Revolution: Soviet Propaganda Posters from Between the World Wars September 24, 2017–February 11, 2018
    Constructing Revolution: Soviet Propaganda Posters from between the World Wars September 24, 2017–February 11, 2018 Bowdoin College Museum of Art OSHER GALLERY Constructing Revolution: Soviet Propaganda Posters from between the World Wars Constructing Revolution explores the remarkable and wide-ranging body of propaganda posters as an artistic consequence of the 1917 Russian Revolution. Marking its centennial, this exhibition delves into a relatively short-lived era of unprecedented experimentation and utopian idealism, which produced some of the most iconic images in the history of graphic design. The eruption of the First World War, the Russian revolutions of 1905 and 1917, and the subsequent civil war broke down established political and social structures and brought an end to the Tsarist Empire. Russia was split into antagonistic worlds: the Bolsheviks and the enemy, the proletariat and the exploiters, the collective and the private, the future and the past. The deft manipulation of public opinion was integral to the violent class struggle. Having seized power in 1917, the Bolsheviks immediately recognized posters as a critical means to tout the Revolution’s triumph and ensure its spread. Posters supplied the new iconography, converting Communist aspirations into readily accessible, urgent, public art. This exhibition surveys genres and methods of early Soviet poster design and introduces the most prominent artists of the movement. Reflecting the turbulent and ultimately tragic history of Russia in the 1920s and 1930s, it charts the formative decades of the USSR and demonstrates the tight bond between Soviet art and ideology. All works in this exhibition are generously lent by Svetlana and Eric Silverman ’85, P’19.

  • Soviet Montage Cinema As Propaganda and Political Rhetoric
    Soviet Montage Cinema as Propaganda and Political Rhetoric Michael Russell Doctor of Philosophy The University of Edinburgh 2009 This thesis is dedicated to the memory of Professor Dietrich Scheunemann. ii Propaganda that stimulates thinking, in no matter what field, is useful to the cause of the oppressed. Bertolt Brecht, 1935. iii Abstract Most previous studies of Soviet montage cinema have concentrated on its aesthetic and technical aspects; however, montage cinema was essentially a rhetoric rather than an aesthetic of cinema. This thesis presents a com- parative study of the leading montage film-makers – Kuleshov, Pudovkin, Eisenstein and Vertov – comparing and contrasting the differing methods by which they used cinema to exert a rhetorical effect on the spectator for the purposes of political propaganda. The definitions of propaganda in general use in the study of Soviet montage cinema are too narrowly restrictive and a more nuanced definition is clearly needed. Furthermore, the role of the spectator in constituting the rhetorical effectivity of a montage film has been neglected; a psychoanalytic model of the way in which the filmic text can trigger a change in the spectator’s psyche is required. Moreover, the ideology of the Soviet montage films is generally assumed to exist only in their content, whereas in classical cinema ideology also operates at the level of the enunciation of the filmic text itself. The extent to which this is also true for Soviet montage cinema should be investigated. I have analysed the interaction between montage films and their specta- tors from multiple perspectives, using several distinct but complementary theoretical approaches, including recent theories of propaganda, a psycho- analytic model of rhetoric, Lacanian psychoanalysis and the theory of the system of the suture, and Peircean semiotics.

This book i; composed and printed by union labor. DAYS WITH LENIN BY MAxiM GoRKY VLADIMIR LENIN is dead. That in him the world has lost a surpassing genius, one far greater than any of his great contempo.r:ar!es, even some of his enemies have · had the courage to admit. The following words form the conclusion of an article on Lenin, which appeared in the Prager Tageblatt, a German bourgeois newspaper published in Czechoslovakia-an article whose domi­ nant note is one of· awe and reverence for his colossal figure: "Great and terrible and beyond our compre­ hension, even in death-such is Lenin.'' It is clear that the feeling behind this article is not one of mere gloat­ ing, not the feeling which finds cynical expression in the saying that "the corpse of an enemy always smells good,; neither is it the feeling of relief which comes from the departure of a great but restless spirit. It is unmistakably the pride of humanity in a great man.. The Russian emigre press had neither the moral cour­ age nor the good taste to express, on the occasion of Lenin's death, the respect which the bourgeois papers showed in appreciating the personality of a man whose\ life was one of the greatest examples of fearless reason · and resolute will to live. · It would be a difficult task to paint the portrait of Vladimir Ilyitch • Lenin.

  • Notes and References
    Notes and References 'M.' means the place of publication was Moscow; 'L.' that it was Leningrad; 'M.-L.' that the work was published in both cities. 1 THE REVOLUTION 1. The origins of this notion are contested. R. Pipes, 'Intelligentsia from the German Intelligenz'?: A Note' Slavic Review, 1971 (3) pp. 615-18, advances the claim for 'die Intelligenz', used in German from 1849. This had been noted by L. B. Namier, 1848: The Revolution of the Intellectu­ als (London, 1944) p. 22. It had certainly been used in Poland at the beginning of the 1840s, see Andrzej Walicki, A History of Russian Thought from the Enlightenment to Marxism (Oxford, 1980) p. xv, note 3. However, another Polish scholar suggests the term entered Russian vocabulary, with Belinsky, in 1846: see: A. Gella, 'The Life and Death of the Old Polish Intelligentsia', Slavic Review, 1971 (3) p. 4. During the nineteenth century, of course, the term covered a great variety of political and social tendencies: populist, radical, liberal, anarchist and revolutionary. For a twentieth-century appraisal of the evolution of the concept see Karl Mannheim, Ideology and Utopia 'The Sociological Problem of the Intelligentsia' (n. date, first published 1936) pp. 153--63.
