Аnna Akhmatova, 19151 Эй, Ленингpад, Петеpбуpг, Петpогpадище Маpсово пастбище, Зимнее кладбище. Отпpыск России, на мать не похожий Бледный, худой, евpоглазый пpохожий. Геpp Ленингpад, до пупа затоваpенный, Жаpеный, паpеный, даpеный, кpаденый. Мсье Ленингpад, pеволюцией меченный, Мебель паливший, дом пеpекалеченный. С окнами, бабками, львами, титанами, Липами, сфинксами, медью, Авpоpами. Сэp Ленингpад, Вы теплом избалованы, Вы в янваpе уже пеpецелованы. Жадной весной ваши с ней откpовения Вскpыли мне вены тоски и сомнения. Пан Ленингpад, я влюбился без памяти В Ваши стальные глаза. Iurii Shevchuk (rockband DDT), 19932 1But we shall never seek a substitution For this grand city our woe and prize. (Bonver 2002) 2Hey, Leningrad, Petersburg, Petrogradishche, The pasture of Mars, the Winter cemetery. Russia’s offspring not resembling its mother, A pale, thin, euro-eyed passerby Herr Leningrad, overstocked to its paunch, Fried, boiled, gifted and stolen, Monsieur Leningrad, marked by the revolution, Which has burnt its furniture, a mutilated house With its windows, grannies, lions, Titans, Lindens, sphinxes, copper, Auroras. Sir Leningrad, you are pampered by warmth, Already in January you are showered with kisses By the avid spring. Your revelations to it Have cut my veins of anguish and doubt. Pan Leningrad, I have fallen in love With your steel eyes. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS First of all I would like to express my deep gratitude to Prof. Fiona Bj¨orling who was gently and thoughtfully supervising my work during these long years. It was my honour and pleasure working with her. I would never be able to accomplish this thesis without her patient guidance, enthusiastic encourage- ment and her wise advice. She was always open to listen and discuss my most ridiculous ideas on the subject and ready to motivate me with her never-fading confidence about this research. Thank you! I would also like to thank Mark Lipovetsky, Olga Boitsova, Anders Mark- lund, Lars Kristensen, Anna Cabak R´edei,Aleksandr Markov for their valu- able recommendations and comments on my research. I am particularly grateful to Aleksandr Markov for his assistance in con- nection with my research work in St. Petersburg and appointing my interview with Irina Evteeva. I would like to thank Irina Evteeva and Dmitrii Dolinin for their openness and willingness to talk to me and also for the films and books I received from them. I am grateful to the staff of CTB film company and Sergei Sel’ianov for organising an interview with Aleksei Balabanov and for courtesy to use film frames to illustrate my work. Although this is too late, I would like to thank Aleksei Balabanov for the sincere and interesting conversation we had. I also wish to thank Mit’ki artists for their joyful ef- forts in searching the film The City, especially to Dmitrii Shagin and Viktor Tikhomirov. I would like to acknowledge assistance of staff of the Panorama Film Studio, Mosfilm and Lenfilm Studios in granting me a permission to use clips from the films that belong to these film studios. I would like to express my appreciation to my colleagues at the former Department of Slavonic Studies, Lund University. I am passing my special thanks to Terho Paulsson for his invaluable help in technical work on the thesis. I am also grateful to Johanna Lindbladh for organising the interna- tional conference ‘The Poetics of Memory in Post-Totalitarian Narration’ that gave such an inspiring effect to my research. Thank you Barbara T¨ornquist- Plewa, Lars Steensland, Karin Greltz, Karin Sarsenov, Sverker Holmstedt, Miloslava Slavi¯ckov´a,Alexander Pereswetoff-Morath, Mattias Nowak, Ana- maria Dutceac Segesten for all the brain-teasing discussions we had, for your interest and for useful critiques of my research, but also for your loyalty and friendship. I am especially grateful to my colleagues and friends Jessica and Stefan Carlzohn and their family for their kind-hearted help and support. I would like to acknowledge the assistance of Malgorzata Andr´eassonat the Centre for Language and Literature and of Monika J¨onssonat Media-Tryck. I am grateful to Holger and Thyra Lauritzen’s Foundation and the Crafo- ord Foundation for financial support of my research. I wish to thank Kiril Lunkin and Olga Bratova for their technical support of the illustrations in this thesis and Danila Prikazchikov for his assistance in last minute proofreading of the inserted passages. I would like to thank my family: my mother Nina Barbalat and my mother- in-law Irina Bratova and my children Victor and Fjodor for their ever-lasting belief in me. I express my deep gratitude and appreciation to my husband Vladimir Bratov for being my technical guru and encouraging me in my work. Finally, the last thanks are to my native city, St. Petersburg for the inspiration it gave to me in writing this work. Let the curse never fulfill! Part I INTRODUCTION Chapter 1 Backgrounds 1.1 Staging the Problem The study of a city can proceed in a variety of directions. It is possible to explore the history of the city from its foundation to the present day, its architecture and different architectural styles represented in it or the quotidian life of its citizens and of separate sections of its population, so to speak, and the physiology of the city in the different periods of time.

Rethinking the Canon: Nonconformist Soviet Classics in Post-Soviet Perspective Alexander Zholkovsky I. The Problem of Reinterpretation In the four-plus decades since Stalin's death, the Soviet literary canon has undergone a series of changes. Thus, Fedor Dostoyevsky, Konstantin Leontiev, and Apollon Grigoriev, seen in all their complexity, gradually resumed their pride of place in nineteenth-century literary history, while Gogol was allowed to be more of a conservative thinker and modernist stylist than during the period of High Stalinism.

Pyle, Kurt Johnson and Steve Coates, and Dieter Zimmer present exciting reading to anyo ne interested in Nabokov's butterflies. 1 The main emphasis in these volumes, however, is on the double passion of Nabokov in his adult age. Nabokov's childhood activities in lepidoptery were so brilliantly described by the writer himself (chapter 6 of Speak, Memory I Drugie berega [Other shores]) that one finds it hard to add anything to his own account. Here I sketch possible lines of inquiry that surround childhood involvement in natura l sc ience-an issue of a great impor­ tance in Nabokov's case-that interested scholars could pursue.

    AATSEEL 2020 Presentation Abstracts FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 7, 2020 1-1 Stream 1A: Tolstoy as Reader (I): Tolstoy Reading Literature, Myth and Religion Brian Kim, University of Pennsylvania Recommending Reading: Great Books According to Tolstoy In 1890, in response to Sir John Lubbock’s recently published list of one hundred books deemed “best worth reading,” Leo Tolstoy was approached by the publisher M. M. Lederle, who was interested in printing Tolstoy’s own recommendations in this regard. Tolstoy’s sin- gle and abortive attempt at compiling such a list in response contained fewer than 50 titles, organized according to the period of one’s life when they ought to be read and the degree of impression each had made on him personally. Ranging from religious texts and classical epics to contemporary philosophy and Russian literature, Tolstoy’s unpublished list is unsurprisingly characterized by an extraordinary breadth and a focus on writings conducive to the development of moral and spiritual education that was his main preoccupation in the latter period of his life. Though it did not become part of his public recommendations for reading (as, e.g., the aphorisms he later gathered in Krug chteniia), Tolstoy’s list was reflec- tive of a contemporaneous response to the rapid growth of literacy in late nineteenth-century Russia that was concerned with directing the reading consumption of a newly literate public toward texts of greater value than the light fiction so commonly found among booksellers’ wares. This paper examines Tolstoy’s recommendations in light of his experiences as a reader, educator, and public figure, and places his list in dialogue with conversations about literacy education in Russia at the end of the nineteenth century.
