Oushakine What do we need, comrades? We need the broad masses laughing as much as possible. We need laughter so badly, it is enough to make you weep. We need laughter. Thoughtful, serious laughter without the slightest grin. —Nikolai Erdman and Vladimir Mass, A Meeting about Laughter, 1933 Laughter can be different. Yet, such terms as “ours” [nash] and “theirs” [ne nash]—trite as they are—have no diffi culty in fi nding their proper coun- terparts. “Our laughter” and “their laughter” are not mere abstractions. The two are separated by a gulf of different social reasoning [propastЈ raznogo sotsialЈnogo osmysleniia]. —Sergei Eisenstein, The Bolsheviks Are Laughing, 1930s In early 1953, the Leningrad Theatre of the Estrada and the Miniature—a restrained Soviet cousin of The Second City—presented its new show. The ti- tle of the show, borrowed from a poem by Nikolai Karamzin (1766 –1826), sheepishly conveyed the theater’s main concern: “SmeiatЈsia, pravo, ne greshno” (Laughing Is Not a Sin, Really). The dilemma that underlay this apologetic framing was dramatized in the show’s opening routine: an angry viewer stormed from the audience onto the stage and viciously interrogated a surprised actor: —What do you think you are doing? A comedy show? We’ve made such huge progress, we’ve achieved such colossal success, and you are laughing!? —Yes, but we are not focusing on the success, we are focusing on the shortcomings . —This is even worse! We have all these shortcomings to deal with, and you are having fun!1 The mounting tension was followed by comic relief: the angry viewer, quickly removing his wig and mask, revealed himself to be none other Epigraphs taken from Nikolai Erdman and Vladimir Mass, “A Meeting about Laughter,” A Meeting about Laughter: Sketches, Interludes, and Theatrical Parodies, trans. and ed.

Famous for his understated sarcasm and his instantaneous trans- formations on stage, Raikin had created an impressive gallery of nega- tive—yet unmistakably Soviet—characters, including, as a 1960 article in Pravda noted, “bureaucrats, excessive risk avoiders [perestrakhovshchiki], idlers [tuneiadtsy], loafers [bezdelЈniki], philistines [obyvateli], and individu- als indifferent to the nation’s concerns.” 2 For more than half a century, Raikin’s sketches, plays, and fi lms defi ned the standards for Soviet humor and satire.3 His success seemed universal; he became a mandatory item on the program of the offi cial concerts in the Kremlin and performed his routines for every secretary general of the Communist Party, including Iosif Stalin. At the same time, his jokes became a part of contemporary folklore. Although he was no dissident, for many years he kept in his rep- ertoire a sketch written for him by the denounced Mikhail Zoshchenko. He also helped to develop and to popularize the literary talent of Mikhail Zhvanetskii, who would become a key satiric writer of the 1970s–1980s.4 In a sense, Raikin provides an ideal point of entry to this cluster on comic genres under socialism. As both a symbol and a symptom of Soviet laughter, Raikin personifi es the central themes discussed by the contribu- tors to this volume and parallels each of their key fi gures. Like Grigo- rii Aleksandrov, Raikin enjoyed incredible offi cial success. Like Nikolai Lebedev, he suffered from political censorship and cultural pressure and learned how to get his message across without saying much. Like Sergei Kurekhin, he turned himself into a one-man-show, blurring the boundar- ies between different media and contradictory contexts.

María José Álvarez Faedo VºBº: Oviedo, 2012 To comic book creators of yesterday, today and tomorrow. The comics medium is a very specialized area of the Arts, home to many rare and talented blooms and flowering imaginations and it breaks my heart to see so many of our best and brightest bowing down to the same market pressures which drive lowest-common-denominator blockbuster movies and television cop shows. Let's see if we can call time on this trend by demanding and creating big, wild comics which stretch our imaginations. Let's make living breathing, sprawling adventures filled with mind-blowing images of things unseen on Earth. Let's make artefacts that are not faux-games or movies but something other, something so rare and strange it might as well be a window into another universe because that's what it is.

  • SPRING CATALOGUE 2018: Early Soviet Culture. a Selection of Books
    www.bookvica.com SPRING CATALOGUE 2018: Early Soviet Culture. A Selection of Books 1 F O R E W O R D Dear friends and collegues, Bookvica team is happy to present to you the spring catalogue of 2018! Our focus is once again on the life of the USSR in 1920s-1930s when new ideas have found its embodiment in the life of the Soviet man. Most of the books we have gathered for this catalogue are not one the classic checklist of early Soviet books. No works by Mayakovsky or Lissitzky are present and some of them are practically unknown and barely recorded. However this collection is not accidental but the one with a purpose. With some exceptions we tried to look into the lesser researched sides of the life of new Soviet man and the propaganda that was creating her/him. What toys were they playing growing up and what notebooks used to write their lessons in? What shoes did they wear and what parks they attended back in the days? What did they do in a free time? How the factory libraries looked like and what could be written in the factory newspapers? The answers could be found in the books featured in our catalogue this time. As usual we tried to include books that would have the harmonious balance of rarity, interesting content and the design. That’s why you should expect to find the constructivist wrapper on the catalogue of the library equipment or photomontage cover of the second grade notebook. Apart from the experimental sections we did include our standard selection on architecture, art theory (this time focusing on color theory) and science books as well as handmade children’s books on their life in pioneer summer camps.

  • Literary Mythologies of Destruction and the Performance of Russian
    The Homeland Is Death: Literary Mythologies of Destruction and the Performance of Russian-ness in Soviet/Post-Soviet Punk Rock Counter-Cultures By Matthew Tappert Submitted To Central European University Nationalism Studies Program In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts CEU eTD Collection Supervisor: András Pap Budapest, Hungary 2016 Abstract The 1980s and 1990s were a time of rapid proliferation of identities throughout the former Soviet Union as citizens of all ethnic backgrounds and on all points of the political spectrum attempted to make sense of the Soviet legacy. Although many of the new nationalists spoke in terms of revival of a pre-Soviet national identity and pride after decades of suppression under the socialists, this view has been challenged both by scholars of nationalism who emphasize its artificial and imagined character and by scholars of Soviet politics and culture who have recently drawn greater attention to the ambiguities and contradictions of late Soviet life, pointing out the ways that ideology was performed and subverted in the post-Stalin period. This thesis contributes to both nationalism studies and the study of late Soviet aesthetics and culture by exploring the relationship between the Siberian anarchist counter-culture of the 1980s and the crypto-fascist National-Bolshevik Party of the 1990s and 2000s. By studying the textual and non-textual content of the manifestos and actions of these communities, it attempts to find the thread of continuity between their forms of left-wing and right-wing resistance, ultimately locating it in specifically Russian literary mythologies about suffering and sacrifice which were coming back into prominence in the later decades of the USSR and which were operationalized by radical nationalist movements after its collapse.

  • On the Topics and Style of Soviet Animated Films
    BALTIC SCREEN MEDIA REVIEW 2016 / VOLUME 4 / ARTICLE Article On the Topics and Style of Soviet Animated Films ÜLO PIKKOV, Estonian Academy of Arts; email: [email protected] 16 DOI: 10.1515/bsmr-2017-0002 BALTIC SCREEN MEDIA REVIEW 2016 / VOLUME 4 / ARTICLE ABSTRACT This article provides a survey of Soviet animation and analyses the thematic and stylistic course of its develop- ment. Soviet animated film emerged and materialised in synch with the fluctuations of the region’s political climate and was directly shaped by it. A number of trends and currents of Soviet animation also pertain to other Eastern European countries. After all, Eastern Europe constituted an integrated cultural space that functioned as a single market for the films produced across it by filmmakers who interacted in a professional regional network of film education, events, festivals, publications etc. Initially experimental, post-revolutionary Russian ani- mation soon fell under the sway of the Socialist Realist discourse, along with the rest of Soviet art, and quickly crystallised as a didactic genre for children. Disney’s para- digm became its major source of inspiration both in terms of visual style and thematic scope, despite the fact that Soviet Union was regarded as the ideological opposite of the Western way of life and mindset. The Soviet animation industry was spread across different studios and republics that adopted slightly varied production practices and tolerated different degrees of artistic freedom. Studios in the smaller republics, such as Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania in particular, stood out for making films that were more ideologically complicated than those produced in Moscow.

Even during the height of Stalinism, visits to the Soviet Union were encouraged and aided by marketing plans tailored specifically to various “enemy” countries. Once arrived, curious tourists found lodging, rest, and entertainment in over twenty hotels run by Inturist. However, the authorities took great pains to avoid excessive exposure to Soviet realities and con- versations with tour guides and other personnel were largely restrict- ed to the set of phrases and expressions contained in the present work. The hosts’ linguistic abilities were also quite low, as their em- ployers preferred to hire uneducated people rather than intellectuals. As a result, the level of service was famously poor, as evidenced by science-fiction writer Robert A.
