Exploring works by Alexander Pushkin, Nikolai Gogol, Fyodor Dostoevsky, and Faddei Bulgarin, I view tropes such as spending, counterfeiting, hoarding, and gambling, as well as plots of mad or blocked ambition, in relation to the cultural and economic history of Nicholas I’s reign and in the context of the importation of economic discourse and literary conventions from abroad. Furthermore, I consider the impact of culturally and economically conditioned affects—ambition, avarice, and embarrassment—on narrative tone. From the post-Revolutionary French plot of social ambition to

  • The City and the Lock: Pushkin’S Miniature Lyric1

    The City and the Lock: Pushkin’s Miniature Lyric1 Alexander Zholkovsky Город пышный, город бедный, Дух неволи, стройный вид, Свод небес зелёно-бледный, Скука, холод и гранит— Всё же мне вас жаль немножко, Потому что здесь порой Ходит маленькая ножка, Вьётся локон золотой. Sumptuous city, poor city, A spirit of unfreedom, an orderly look, The pale green vault of the skies, The boredom, the cold and the granite— Still I do regret you a little, For sometimes here There walks a little foot, And a golden lock is a-flutter. This untitled lyric is a minor piece. But it is typical of Pushkin in both form and content, and I will try to pinpoint the correspondences between the two. It was written in the fall of 1828, right before the poet’s departure from St. Petersburg (to Malinniki and then on to Moscow), and addressed to Anna Olenina. Pushkin was in love with and had proposed to her—only to be rejected as, in her parents’ opinion, “politically unreliable”; hence, probably, the poem’s consistent ambiguity. 1 The authorized translation of the essay and of the cited material (unless indicated otherwise) is by Dr. Arina Volgina.—A.Zh. “A Convenient Territory”: Russian Literature at the Edge of Modernity. Essays in Honor of Barry Scherr. John M. Kopper and Michael Wachtel, eds. Bloomington, IN: Slavica Publishers, 2015, 67–79. 68 ALEXANDER ZHOLKOVSKY a 1 b The structure of the poem is in many respects obvious.2 To begin with, it is a juxtaposition of two contrasting images: “the big” (spacious, formal, cold, sumptuous, orderly, but callous capital city) and “the small” (the personal, intimate, graceful, charming young woman).

Russia Eternal: Recalling The Imperial Era In Late- And Post-Soviet Literature And Culture Abstract The return of Tsarist buildings, narratives and symbols has been a prominent facet of social life in post- Soviet Russia. My dissertation aims to explain this phenomenon and its meaning by tracking contemporary Russia’s cultural memory of the Imperial era. By close-reading both popular and influential cultural texts, as well as analyzing their conditions of production and reception, I show how three generations of Russian cultural elites from the 1950s until today have used Russia’s past to fight present- day political battles, and outline how the cultural memory of the Imperial epoch continues to inform post- Soviet Russian leaders and their mainstream detractors. Chapters One and Two situate the origin of Russian culture’s current engagement with the pre-Revolutionary era in the social dynamic following Stalin’s death in 1953.

Pushkin: The Invention of Russian Literature Alexander Pushkin (1799-1837) was an acknowledged genius , the No. 1 writer during his lifetime, not because he wrote best-sellers (although he did), but because his work, and his personality and life, exemplified qualities that brought him recognition and fame . Pushkin traced his lineage to noble families and was the great grandson of Peter the Great’s Abyssinian general, Abram Petrovich Gannibal, born an African prince . Pushkin was the Russian Byron , the Russian Mozart of poetry. After graduating from the elite Lycée, at age 21, the publication of his first major poem, Ruslan and Ludmila (1820), created a sensation , especially when he was exiled to the south at the same time for circulating poems about freedom . In 1826, back in St. Petersburg, where the Emperor Nicholas I was his personal censor, Pushkin became a professional man of letters and established a literary journal. His greatest work, the novel in verse Eugene Onegin (1833), was acclaimed as “an encyclopedia of Russian life ” and was made into a beloved opera by Petr Tchaikovsky in 1878. Students copied his bawdy poetry in their albums. His reputation with women made mothers fear for their daughters. His marriage to the beautiful Natalia Goncharova led to a duel over her honor, in which he was killed . Since then, his stature in Russian literature has only increased and he is Russia’s national poet , a literary saint with statues throughout Russia and streets named after him in every town.
