Instead of the customary editorial note, we are pleased to publish this nostalgic reminiscence by Alexander Zholkovsky, professor of Slavic languages and literatures at the University of Southern California, Los Angeles. The Gift I'm not very good at giving presents. Nobody taught me to do this at an early age and I still don't know how to. Taking along a bottle of wine or, worst case scenario, a box of chocolates for the hostess, not to mention presenting colleagues with copies of my books, well, that's not a problem. But offering bouquets of flowers or perfumes to ladies of the heart, well, I could count such cases on one hand alone and, in any case, such affairs do bear an increasingly foreign fragrance. -

RUSSIA: Оurs is the Victory One of the most prominent leit-motifs in everyday Moscow life is the word, concept, and metaphor of “victory” (pobeda) and its analogy “triumph”. Of course, Moscow has engineered many conquests, from the rout of Napoleon in 1812 to the rout of Hitler in 1943, but, even so, the persistence and application of “victory” is so striking that its continued omnipresence might well inspire the following scenario: After arriving on Victory Airlines on 9 May (Victory Day), I checked into the Hotel Victory not far from the Victory of Taste Supermarket adjacent to Triumphal Street downtown. Taking a Victory ‘Bus to the nearby Victory Café, I ordered a Victory Salad and a slice of Victory Cake out of their Victory refrigerator. -
Ted Braun Edited Interview 4-3-15
Ted Braun Edited Interview 4-3-15 Speaker key JP Jonathan Pitches EB Edward Braun JP As you know I've got the job of writing a short introduction to a new edition of Meyerhold on Theatre, and I don't want to mess with any of the material that you so expertly put together, so the introduction is going to sit outside and try and comment on the way in which you've organised things. So I wanted to go right back, really, and find out, in the first instance, what was the publishing landscape like in 1964 when you were first beginning to stumble across this area and what led you to Methuen ultimately? 00:00:39 EB Well Methuen was the obvious choice. I mean Methuen dominated the field of drama publishing and continued to do so for many years after that. I mean there were other publishers in the field, principally relating to individual dramatists. So, you know, Faber had a small stable, MacMillan in due course launched their series of dramatists. CUP published a certain amount. Calder more or less cornered the market when it came to Artaud and that kind of theatre, but Methuen was really dominant, and that was due to the influence of two men, quite specifically. The one was John Cullen who was the managing editor. And John had a French wife and spoke fluent French. And had a significant background in French theatre and his Drama editor was Geoffrey Strong. Geoffrey, like myself, had done the service’s Russian course, so he had decent Russian. -

Russia – Art Resistance and the Conservative-Authoritarian Zeitgeist
i Russia – Art Resistance and the Conservative- Authoritarian Zeitgeist This book explores how artistic strategies of resistance have survived under the conservative- authoritarian regime which has been in place in Russia since 2012. It discusses the conditions under which artists work as aesthetics change and the state attempts to define what constitutes good taste. It examines the approaches artists are adopting to resist state oppression and to question the present system and attitudes to art. The book addresses a wide range of issues related to these themes, considers the work of individual artists and includes some discussion of contemporary theatre as well as the visual arts. Lena Jonson is Associate Professor and a Senior Associate Research Fellow at the Swedish Institute of International Affairs. Andrei Erofeev is a widely published art historian, curator, and former head of the contemporary art section of the Tretyakov Gallery, Moscow, Russia. ii Routledge Contemporary Russia and Eastern Europe Series Series url: www.routledge.com/ Routledge- Contemporary- Russia- and- Eastern- Europe- Series/ book- series/ SE0766 71 EU- Russia Relations, 1999– 2015 From Courtship to Confrontation Anna- Sophie Maass 72 Migrant Workers in Russia Global Challenges of the Shadow Economy in Societal Transformation Edited by Anna- Liisa Heusala and Kaarina Aitamurto 73 Gender Inequality in the Eastern European Labour Market Twenty- five Years of Transition since the Fall of Communism Edited by Giovanni Razzu 74 Reforming the Russian Industrial Workplace -
