The Russian Cinema Collection of Mikhail Sul'kin, Film The Russian Cinema Collection of Mikhail Sul’kin Film historian and managing editor of the journal Iskusstvo kino (Cinema Art) Part I: Books, 1909-1955 Part II: Magazines and Film Newspapers, 1913-1955 Part III: Soviet Playbills, dating primarily from 1918-1935 Part IV: Books and Journals on Soviet cinema published after 1956 Mikhail Sul’kin (1928-2014) Russian journalist and film critic After graduating from the Moscow Polygraphic Institute (School of Media and Journalism), Sul’kin spent roughly ten years as a proofreader in a Moscow printing plant. In 1957 he started work as an editor at the Art of Cinema (Iskusstvo kino) magazine, the country's main publication on the theory and practice of cinema. Sul’kin devoted almost all of his life to this magazine, where for many years, he held the key position of managing editor. For several years in the 1970s, he worked as an editor at the publishing house “Art” (Iskusstvo), and then returned to his beloved magazine. His hard work, erudition, conscientiousness, and goodwill have earned the respect and admiration of many film critics, writers, screenwriters, and film directors. He was dubbed the "walking encyclopedia" because he knew and remembered a colossal amount of names, dates, and films. He began to fill out index cards for films, where he entered relevant data such as crew, synopsis and references. Numerous cardboard boxes were steadily filled, year after year, and over time, the tiny office in his two-bedroom apartment on Koshtoyants Street in Moscow, which also served as his and wife Claudia’s bedroom, turned into a type of scientific library, crowded with books, magazines, and boxes of cards. There were no computers yet and Sul’kin’s dossier had inherent value at the time. Naturally, Sul’kin devoted the lion's share of his time to work and spent hours reading and editing manuscripts and galleys. He has written many articles, reviews, as well as several books and brochures. His areas of special interest were the cinema of East Germany, Mongolia, and Kazakhstan. He traveled to these countries and developed close friendships with multiple film makers. For over thirty years, he methodically expanded his private library of books, magazines, playbills, and cinema newspapers. He bought almost all publications on this topic that were published in the Soviet Union and in post-Soviet Russia. He had a rigorous ritual. Once a week, with a bulky briefcase in hand, he perused several antique bookshops, where sellers knew him well and set aside interesting and rare publications for him. In 1994, Mikhail Sul’kin and his family moved to the United States and settled in a suburb of Boston. He managed to take his entire collection of books and other publications on cinema with him. When he retired in the USA, he spent most of his time reading books and cinema magazines, analyzing programs on Russian-language TV channels, and filling out his cards on movies.

I analyze different visual and narrative strategies developed by the directors of youth cinema during the Brezhnev period as mechanisms for circumventing ideological control over cultural production.

  • Growing up Soviet in the Periphery
    Growing Up Soviet in the Periphery: Imagining, Experiencing and Remembering Childhood in Kazakhstan, 1928-1953 by Mehmet Volkan Kaşıkçı A Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy Approved October 2020 by the Graduate Supervisory Committee: Laurie Manchester, Chair Agnes Kefeli Adrienne Edgar Anna Holian ARIZONA STATE UNIVERSITY December 2020 ABSTRACT This dissertation discusses children and childhood in Soviet Kazakhstan from 1928 to 1953. By exploring images of, and for, children, and by focusing on children’s fates during and after the famine of 1930-33, I argue that the regime’s success in making children socialist subjects and creating the new Soviet person was questionable throughout the 1930s. The reach of Soviet ideological and cultural policies was limited in a decade defined by all kinds of shortcomings in the periphery which was accompanied by massive violence and destruction. World War 2 mobilized Central Asians and integrated the masses into the Soviet social and political body. The war transformed state- society relations and the meaning of being Soviet fundamentally changed. In this way, larger segments of society embraced the framework for Soviet citizenship and Soviet patriotism largely thanks to the war experience. This approach invites us to reconsider the nature of Sovietization in Central Asia by questioning the central role of ideology and cultural revolution in the formation of Soviet identities. My dissertation brings together images of childhood, everyday experiences of children and memory of childhood. On the one hand, the focus on children provides me an opportunity to discuss Sovietization in Central Asia.

This article examines medical treatment or therapy (in Russian lechenie), as concept and practice, in what came to be known in Russia as defectology (defektologiia) – the discipline and occupation concerned with the study and care of children with developmental pathologies, disabilities and special needs. Defectology formed an impure, occupationally ambiguous, therapeutic field, which emerged between different types of expertise in the niche populated by children considered ‘difficult to cure’, ‘difficult to teach’, and ‘difficult to discipline’. The article follows the multiple genealogy of defectological therapeutics in the medical, pedagogical and juridical domains, across the late tsarist and early Soviet eras. It argues that the distinctiveness of defectological therapeutics emerged from the tensions between its biomedical, sociopedagogical and moral-juridical framings, resulting in ambiguous hybrid forms, in which medical treatment strategically interlaced with education or upbringing, on the one hand, and moral correction, on the other.

    INHERITED DISCOURSE: STALINIST TROPES IN THAW CULTURE by Alexander Prokhorov BA, Moscow State University, 1987 MA, University of Pittsburgh , 1994 Submitted to the Graduate Faculty of The Faculty of Arts and Sciences in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of Pittsburgh 2002 UNIVERSITY OF PITTSBURGH FACULTY OF ARTS AND SCIENCES This dissertation was presented by Alexander Prokhorov It was defended on April 26, 2002 and approved by Lucy Fischer Mark Altshuller Nancy Condee Vladimir Padunov Helena Goscilo Dissertation Director © Copyright by Alexander Prokhorov 2002 All Rights Reserved iii INHERITED DISCOURSE: STALINIST TROPES IN THAW CULTURE Alexander Prokhorov, PhD University of Pittsburgh, 2002 My dissertation argues that while Thaw cultural producers believed that they had abandoned Stalinist cultural practices, their works continued to generate, in revised form, the major tropes of Stalinist culture: the positive hero, and family and war tropes. Although the cultural Thaw of the 1950s and 60s embraced new values, it merely reworked Stalinist artistic practices. On the basis of literary and cinematic texts, I examine how these two media reinstantiated the fundamental tropes of Russo-Soviet culture. In the first two chapters, I discuss approaches to Thaw literature and film in Western and Soviet scholarship, and my methodology, which is best defined as cultural semiotics. Chapter Three discusses the instantiations of the positive hero in Thaw literature and film. As case studies I adduce Boris Pasternak's Doctor Zhivago (1957) and Grigorii Kozintsev's film adaptation of Hamlet (1964). Though both texts are considered “beyond” classical socialist realist aesthetics, I contend that they feed on major Stalinist tropes and dialogize and elaborate the Stalinist canon.
