He had been summoned several times by the Committee for State Security ðKGBÞ for what it called “prophylactic talks.” Many of those present at the party were, like Litvinov, connected in one way or another to the dissident movement, a loose conglomeration of Soviet citizens who had initially coalesced around the 1966 trial of the writers Andrei Sinyavsky and Yuli Daniel, seeking to defend civil rights inscribed in the Soviet constitution and * For comments on previous drafts of this article, I would like to thank the anonymous readers for the Journal of Modern History as well as Alexander Gribanov, Jochen Hell- beck, Edward Kline, Ann Komaromi, Eli Nathans, Sydney Nathans, Serguei Oushakine, Kevin M.

  • The Russian Idea in the Soviet and Post-Soviet Fantastika Film Adaptation
    UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles Searching for Identity: The Russian Idea in the Soviet and Post-Soviet Fantastika Film Adaptation A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy in Slavic, East European and Eurasian Languages and Cultures by Jesse Brown O’Dell 2019 © Copyright by Jesse Brown O’Dell 2019 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION Searching for Identity: The Russian Idea in the Soviet and Post-Soviet Fantastika Film Adaptation by Jesse Brown O’Dell Doctor of Philosophy in Slavic, East European and Eurasian Languages and Cultures University of California, Los Angeles, 2019 Professor Ronald W. Vroon, Chair What is the role of sociocultural history in the evolution of national identity? How is the worldview of Russian citizens reflected in contemporary art and popular culture? My dissertation, which examines narratives of national identity in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, approaches these questions and others through an historical analysis of Russian fantastika film adaptations and the literary works upon which they are based. Illustrating transitions in perceptions of Russian identity as they are reflected in over thirty examples of Soviet and post-Soviet fantastika, this project provides a critical reconsideration of historical theories on the “Russian idea” and offers new perspectives on what it means to be Russian in the twenty-first century. My study employs a synthesis of approaches from the fields of cultural history, literature, film, and gender studies. The primary hypothesis is that it is possible, through an historical ii analysis of fantastika film adaptations (and their corresponding literary sources), to obtain a fundamental understanding of post-Soviet culture by examining crucial transformations in the Russian worldview over the course of a century; namely, from 1917 to 2017.

    Soviet Union on the Seine: Kontinent, Sintaksis, and the Social Life of Émigré Journals PHILIP GLEISSNER MARIA ROZANOVA:Having arrived to the West, we, the third emigration, built a world that is absolutely the same as the one we had left behind. The same as the one we were once fighting so fiercely. ... The only thing is—we can’t build our own Lubyanka. But I think that is only because ... ANDREI SINYAVSKY:...Because we live in a free country. MARIA ROZANOVA:Because we live in a country where the government wouldn’t allow us to do so. But if they did, we would do it immediately. Immediately. John Glad, interview with Rozanova and Sinyavsky, 1986 With the arrival of the so-called third-wave emigration—Soviet citizens who were allowed to leave for the West between the late 1960s and the mid-1980s—numerous new journals appeared on the stage of Russian émigré culture. Since the Thaw, the “literary- artistic and socio-political” or “thick” journals had again come to function as a central institution of the Soviet intelligentsia. Through journals like Kontinent and Sintaksis, the third wave paradoxically recreated in the West two main characteristics of what can be considered a late Soviet mode of cultural production. First, the third wave persistently relied on thick journals as the privileged means for the politicized organization and distribution of literature. This choice is by no means a self-evident one in the environment of Paris, Frankfurt, or New York.1 Second, third-wave intellectuals quickly reinstituted the I would like to thank Natalia Ermolaev, Devin Fore, Neringa Klumbyte, Serguei Oushakine, and the two anonymous reviewers from The Russian Review for their critique and suggestions.

  • I Was Born 1954, Next Year After Tyrant's Death
    Hall 1. CASE A I was born in 1954, next year after tyrant’s death. Government’s bulletins about dying Stalin having “Chain- Stocks” breathing gave the hope to my parent’s generation that they will breathe more freely. Yet “Archipelago GULAG” did not vanish completely. Three of our family got first hand experience in 70’s-80’s of what it is to be a prisoner of conscience. First my father, then my wife and I. Then the wall was broken, communist party and Soviet Union ceased to exist, criminal code was changed and article 70 we were charged by removed, special political labor camps were closed and former prisoners rehabilitated. Once again there was a hope that GULAG is dead. Once again this hope has been proven to be wrong. There are political prisoners in Putin’s Russia. These are people imprisoned because of government’s political reasons. The country, its rulers and prisoners, the life itself is very different, but prison does not change much. In 1992 I had a rare opportunity to tour Russian prisons and labor camps - this time as a photographer, not as prisoner. Most of the pictures on this exhibit are from that trip.
