  • Beumers, Birgit (Ed.)
    Beumers, Birgit (ed.). A Companion to Russian Cinema, The Wiley Blackwell Companions to National Cinemas, Wiley Blackwell, Chichester and Malden, MA, 2016. xvi + 656 pp. Illustrations. Notes. References. Appendix. Bibliography. Index. $195: £156 (hardback); $156.99: £140.99 (e-book). PART of The Wiley Blackwell Companions to National Cinemas series, the much anticipated A Companion to Russian Cinema is a rich and capacious volume. Edited by Birgit Beumers, one of the field’s most knowledgeable and indefatigable scholars, it comprises 25 newly commissioned chapters, written by leading experts and academics working in Russian cinema studies independently or at various American, British, Canadian, French, Hungarian and Russian institutions. In her helpful Introduction, which provides a concise survey of the state of the field and outlines the Companion’s scope and structure, Beumers acknowledges that attempting to provide a comprehensive account of the whole history of Russian cinema in the Companion would have been ‘ambitiously [to] aim at the impossible’ (p. 1). Instead, therefore, she elects to focus on the ‘task of “filling gaps”’ (p. 4), by including contributions that explore some of the significant films, periods, filmmakers and genres that have been ‘traditionally neglected in film histories and scholarship’ (p. 2). Divided into five thematically organized parts, the Companion thus seeks to provide ‘five alternative histories of Russian cinema’ (p. 16). Accordingly, within each part the chapters are arranged in a loosely chronological order, to convey a ‘sense of progression’ (p. 4). While each of the five parts does not cover the complete one-hundred-and-ten-year period since Russian feature filmmaking began, the Companion as a whole does broadly achieve this.

  • Aleksandra Khokhlova
    Aleksandra Khokhlova Also Known As: Aleksandra Sergeevna Khokhlova, Aleksandra Botkina Lived: November 4, 1897 - August 22, 1985 Worked as: acting teacher, assistant director, co-director, directing teacher, director, film actress, writer Worked In: Russia by Ana Olenina Today Aleksandra Khokhlova is remembered as the star actress in films directed by Lev Kuleshov in the 1920s and 1930s. Indeed, at the peak of her career she was at the epicenter of the Soviet avant-garde, an icon of the experimental acting that matched the style of revolutionary montage cinema. Looking back at his life, Kuleshov wrote: “Nearly all that I have done in film directing, in teaching, and in life is connected to her [Khokhlova] in terms of ideas and art practice” (1946, 162). Yet, Khokhlova was much more than Kuleshov’s wife and muse as in her own right she was a talented author, actress, and film director, an artist in formation long before she met Kuleshov. Growing up in an affluent intellectual family, Aleksandra would have had many inspiring artistic encounters. Her maternal grandfather, the merchant Pavel Tretyakov, founder of the Tretyakov Gallery in Moscow, was a philanthropist and patron who purchased and exhibited masterpieces of Russian Romanticism, Realism, and Symbolism. Aleksandra’s parents’ St. Petersburg home was a prestigious art salon and significant painters, actors, and musicians were family friends. Portraits of Aleksandra as a young girl were painted by such eminent artists as Valentin Serov and Filipp Maliavin. Aleksandra’s father, the doctor Sergei Botkin, an art connoisseur and collector, cultivated ties to the World of Arts circle–the creators of the Ballets Russes.

Trauberg 1929 cineytrabajo.wordpress.com Título original: Новый Вавилон/Novyy Vavilon; URSS, 1929; Productora: Sovkino; Director: Grigori Kozintsev y Leonid Trauberg. Fotografía: Andrei Moskvin (Blanco y negro); Guión: Grigori Kozintsev y Leonid Trauberg; Reparto: David Gutman, Yelena Kuzmina, Andrei Kostrichkin, Sofiya Magarill, A. Arnold, Sergei Gerasimov, Yevgeni Chervyakov, Pyotr Sobolevsky, Yanina Zhejmo, Oleg Zhakov, Vsevolod Pudovkin; Duración: 120′ “*...+¡La Comuna, exclaman, pretende abolir la propiedad, base de toda civilización! Sí, caballeros, la Comuna pretendía abolir esa propiedad de clase que convierte el trabajo de muchos en la riqueza de unos pocos. La Comuna aspiraba a la expropiación de los expropiadores.*...+” ¹ (Karl Marx) Sinopsis Ambientada en el París de 1870-1871, ‘La nueva Babilonia’ nos cuenta la historia de la instauración de la Comuna de París por parte de un grupo de hombres y mujeres que no quieren aceptar la capitulación del Gobierno de París ante Prusia en el marco de la guerra franco-prusiana. Louise, dependienta de los almacenes “La nueva Babilonia”, va a ser una de las más apasionadas defensoras de la Comuna hasta su derrocamiento en mayo de 1871. Comentario En 1929, Grigori Kozintsev y Leonid Trauberg, dos de los creadores y difusores de la Fábrica del Actor Excéntrico (FEKS), escribieron y dirigieron la que se considera su obra conjunta de madurez: ‘Novyy Vavilon (La nueva Babilonia)’. Como muchas otras obras soviéticas se sirven de un hecho histórico real para exaltar la Revolución, pero la peculiaridad de la película de Trauberg y Kozintsev reside en que no sólo se remontan muchos años atrás en el tiempo, sino que además cambian de ubicación, situando la acción en la época de la guerra franco-prusiana de 1870 y la instauración de la Comuna de París al año siguiente.

The Russian Cinematic Culture Oksana Bulgakova The cinema has always been subject to keen scrutiny by Russia's rulers. As early as the beginning of this century Russia's last czar, Nikolai Romanov, attempted to nationalize this new and, in his view, threatening medium: "I have always insisted that these cinema-booths are dangerous institutions. Any number of bandits could commit God knows what crimes there, yet they say the people go in droves to watch all kinds of rubbish; I don't know what to do about these places." [1] The plan for a government monopoly over cinema, which would ensure control of production and consumption and thereby protect the Russian people from moral ruin, was passed along to the Duma not long before the February revolution of 1917.

  • Images of Flight and Aviation and Their Relation to Soviet Identity in Soviet Film 1926-1945
    ‘Air-mindedness’ and Air Parades: Images of Flight and Aviation and Their Relation to Soviet Identity in Soviet Film 1926-1945 Candyce Veal, UCL PhD Thesis 2 I, Candyce L. Veal, declare that the work presented in this thesis is my own. Where information has been derived from other sources, I confirm that this has been indicated in the thesis. 3 Abstract Taking Soviet films from 1926 to 1945 as its frame of reference, this thesis seeks to answer the question: is autonomous voicing possible in film during a period defined by Stalin’s concentration of power and his authoritarian influence on the arts? Aviation and flight imaging in these films shares characteristics of language, and the examination of the use of aviation and flight as an expressive means reveals nuances in messaging which go beyond the official demand of Soviet Socialist Realism to show life in its revolutionary movement towards socialism. Reviewing the films chronologically, it is shown how they are unified by a metaphor of ‘gaining wings’. In filmic representations of air-shows, Arctic flights, aviation schools, aviation circus-acts, and aircraft invention, the Soviet peoples’ identity in the 1930s became constructed as being metaphorically ‘winged’. This metaphor links to the fundamental Icarian precursor myth and, in turn, speaks to sub-structuring semantic spheres of freedom, transformation, creativity, love and transcendence. Air-parade film communicates symbolically, but refers to real events; like an icon, it visualizes the word of Stalinist- Leninist scriptures. Piloted by heroic ‘falcons’, Soviet destiny was perceived to be a miraculous ‘flight’ which realised the political and technological dreams of centuries.

  • The Jewish Topic in the Soviet Media: Political Environment, Priorities and Heroes
    National Resilience, Politics and Society Volume 1, No. 2, Fall 2019, pp. 143-177 DOI: https://doi.org/10.26351/NRPS/1-2/2 ISSN: 2706-7645 (print); 2706-7653 (online) The Jewish Topic in the Soviet Media: Political Environment, Priorities and Heroes Dmitry Strovsky Abstract This article examines the evolution of the Soviet media in relation to the “Jewish topic”, which has become an integral part, albeit not very visible, of their common content. In the Soviet years, the subject of Jewishness was limited to connotations and never came to the fore. Nonetheless, it did exist in the Soviet media, albeit subtly, and often acquired hidden outlines. The main attention in the article is therefore paid to the stuff which for a few decades centered on situations that in one way or another involved Jewish circumstances, as well as to names of journalists of Jewish origin, who worked in the media and greatly influenced public consciousness during different periods of national history. The author envisages processes and events of Soviet life that affected the above topic, and predetermined the professional priorities of Soviet journalists. These occurrences affected the evolution of the entire media process in the country. Consequently, the article promotes strictly academic generalizations, and contains elements of essays that are very important for reconstruction of real situations in certain periods of Soviet history. In the meantime, the article serves as a well-structured representation of diverse empirical material being useful for studies in political science, sociology, media history, as well as other humanities. Keywords: Communist ideology, Soviet propaganda, Israel, “Jewish issue” in the USSR, anti-Semitism, “rootless cosmopolitanism”, media, samizdat Dr.
