The initial idea of this dissertation originated in the (now) remote year 1997 – during a MA seminar in Russian poetics conducted by Yuri Lotman’s doctoral student Prof. Vladimir Papernyi. Vladimir was the one who deviously “infected” me with the interest to analyze the “text-of-life” topic in general and “life-creation” strategies of Russian Modernism in particular. I wish to use this occasion to thank him for this. The paramount gratitude, which cannot be, I am afraid, adequately expressed in plain words, must go to my Supervisor and Promoter and, I should say, a Teacher, with the capital “T” – Willem Weststeijn, whose tireless care resulted in the accomplishment of the present work. It is to him I owe the greatest indebtedness and praise. It was his personal friendly support, his enduring encouragement and delicate protection, his exemplary scholarly rigor that, I hope, eventually made a scholar out of me. Lots of affectionate thanks I would like to extend to my loving family, particularly to my mother, without whose constant cornerstone support and self-forgetting devoted help I would have never made it till the end of my assignment. I also thank my father and grandfathers for excellent advice and inexhaustible good humor. I wish to thank all the extraordinary university colleagues I was fortunate to meet in the University of Amsterdam. My cordial thanks go to Mieke Bal for the opportunity to attend the best Theory Seminar existing in our field and for introducing me to Vera – the Parisian princess of the Golytzyns, to Maaike Bleeker for a chance to learn something about the “performing bodies”, to Philip Westbroek – my dear roommate and a great friend for stimulating talks about Hegel and Viacheslav Ivanov, and to all the other excellent colleagues in the Amsterdam Slavic Seminarium as well. I also thank Jesse Savage, Steven McCarthy and Michael Klebanov for their devoted help with improving my English style. Last, but obviously, not least, I gladly thank my wife Lilia, not only for generously tolerating my endless late-at-night studies of Russian culture, but also for providing an excellent musical environment for living and working. I dedicate my work to my late uncle Dr Grigorii Belchinskii, a promising theorist of biology whose tragic and untimely death has been never forgotten in the 15 years that passed; he was the first who introduced to me the principal idea of academic quests and “scholarship” and I wish to thank him for that, posthumously. 5 Introduction The central concern of my analysis is the cultural concept of “life art” (which may be traced back to the Latin expression ars vivendi )1 as embodied by the leading exponents of Russian Modernism. I was interested to understand the peculiar mechanisms behind the ways and actions of people committed to the radical formation of their personal lives as works of art. Many prominent figures of Russian Modernism were in fact styling their life according to the primordially stated principles of their aesthetical agendas and interests. The subsequent pages will show how they “programmed” their lives according to the proclaimed principles, shaping their biographies in accordance with the curriculum of their playful Modernist experimentation. Behavioral “stylization” and interpretation of life as a sort of artificial narrative constitute therefore the conceptual core of the studied phenomenon. I was determined to examine how “an artistic craft of life” 2 was realized in and corresponded to the widely-known cultural output of the discussed authors. I consider the idea of “art” not just as a traditional mimetical representation of any objective phenomena (as suggested by the philosophy of Aristotle). 3 Following in some way Tolstoy’s definition of art as “using indirect means” of communication “from one person to another”, 4 I rather subscribe to the “semiotic” approach to art. 5 Aided by the apt semiological term of “sign-vehicle” we can conclude that work of art as any other artificial sign, always stands for something else as a substitute of carefully contrived expression and aims at a certain resulting communication. What is actually being communicated depends largely on the intention of the creator (i.e. ideology of the creation). It comes as no surprise that such a commonly accepted resource as Encyclopaedia Britannica also provides a semiotically-oriented definition of art emphasizing the “communicated” and “sign-sharing” essence of the phenomenon, referring to art as: “the use of skill and imagination in the creation of aesthetic objects, environments, or experiences that can be shared with others”. The aesthetic experiences that can be shared with the “other/s” constitute the adequate understanding of art as is assumed by this study. Understanding art as communication agrees with Russian Modernism perfectly since it echoes the major concern of its exponents about appealing to others through the means of any chosen, particular event of their “unusual” lives. In many cases such an event contained, as I will demonstrate, some hidden “utopian” components. 6 This utilization of art for conveying new utopian “messages” suggests that the communicative and semiotic apprehension of aesthetic function can be especially relevant in this case. 1 Additional terminological definitions

However, for the names of artists, we have combined two methods. For their names according to the Library of Congress system even when more conventional English versions exist: e.g. , Aleksandr Rodchenko, not Alexander Rodchenko; Aleksandr Deineka, not Alexander Deineka; Vasilii Kandinsky, not Wassily Kandinsky. Surnames with an “-ii” ending are rendered with an ending of “-y.” But in the case of artists who emigrated to the West, we have used the spelling that the artist adopted or that has gained common usage. Soft signs are not used in artists’ names but are retained elsewhere. TABLE OF CONTENTS 7 - ‘A Glimpse of Tomorrow’: Konstantin Vialov and the Search for a Modern Realism” by Alla Rosenfeld, Ph.

  • 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

  • Music and Russian Identity in War and Revolution, 1914–22
    Music and Russian Identity in War and Revolution, 1914–22 Rebecca Mitchell In January 1915 the weekly Moscow journal Muzyka unveiled a new cover logo: an unsheathed sword whose upright hilt formed the shape of a Christian cross and whose blade was framed by a musical lyre. This single image provided a visual encapsulation of three interlocking themes that dominated Russian- language discourse in the early months of the Great War: music, battle, and the spiritual mission of Holy Russia.1 (See fig. 47 in gallery of illustrations following page 178.) Immediately after the outbreak of war in 1914, Muzyka’s editor, Vladimir V. Derzhanovskii, asserted that music was to play an active role in the conflict. How, he asked, were his readers (as Russian musicians) to “react to these great events experienced by the motherland” and “fulfill their duty” to society? How would they defend “Russian national culture”? While some might be called to “exchange their lyre for a sword,” Derzhanovskii intimated that the vast majority faced the difficult mission of redoubling their important cultural work amid total war.2 The problem of Russian musical identity in the context of a multiethnic empire was to play a central role in defining just what that mission was to be. While the role of nationalism in Russian music has long been a topic of study, the relationship between Russian national (russkii) and imperial (ros- siiskii) identity, particularly in the midst of war and revolution, deserves closer consideration.3 With the outbreak of war, loyalty to one’s ethnic background, one’s country of citizenship, or to a universal, shared culture of humanity emerged as an urgent problem for musicians, music critics, and audiences.4 1 The original logo employed by Muzyka at the journal’s inception in 1910 was a lyre; in 1914 this was altered to Russian folk instruments.
