The revival of this tradition took place in the literary underground, where writers who endeavored to fulfil this challenging task largely remained until the collapse of the Soviet regime. Most of them emerged from obscurity only at the beginning of the 1990s, which explains why their dramatic and fascinating history has been so little examined by scholars. Although the situation has changed significantly in the last decade, during which some insightful studies have appeared in both Russia and the West, the subject obviously requires more thorough and systematic exploration. My book aims to narrow important gaps in the scholarship on the Russian literary avant-garde during its least investigated period.1 The Soviet authorities' intolerance for experimental art became apparent in the late 1920s and grew steadily worse in the years to follow. Labeled as “formalism,” experimental art was seen as the chief opponent of Socialist Realism, whose official establishment in 1934 marked a clear end to the first wave of the Russian avant-garde. Only twenty years later, with the beginning of the Thaw, did avant-garde trends in art and literature become visible again, leading to the wide-spread assumption that no experimental art whatsoever had been produced in Russia for almost two decades. Yet this assumption is wrong. As I discovered in the course of my research, the revival of the avant-garde tradition began in the darkest years of Staling rule, largely thanks to the samizdat activities of a young Moscow poet, Nikolai Glazkov (1919-1979). His early verses, written between the late 1930s and the late 1940s, showed a close connection to the major poets of the first Russian avant-garde - Khlebnikov, Kruchenykh, and the early Maiakovskii. Although Glazkov, who used to call himself “a Neofuturist,” appeared to be the single most important avant-garde author of the 1940s, he has remained largely unknown and virtually unstudied. This study of the poet’s 1 Fragments o f this work were published in The Russian Review, 57, no. 3 (!998); Slavic and East European Journal, 43, no. I (1999); Russian Literature, 50, no. I (2001); and Voprosy literatury, no. 3 (2000). The latter article, as well as all o f my other publications in Russian, appeared under my maiden name. Irina Vinokurova. Irene E.

In support of my analysis I use unpublished manuscripts and other unique materials I discovered while working in private archives in Russia. After Stalin's death in 1953, and beginning with the so-called Thaw, the experimental tradition became significantly stronger. ІЪе second wave of the Russian avant-garde began to emerge, initiated by poets who would later be known as the Thaw generation. Bom between 1932 and 1938, they began their creative careers in the late 1950s. Although during this period the official attitude toward “formalism” became less intolerant, the most radical and innovative of these poets still had to work in the literary underground. This book offers a detailed survey of the various unofficial avant-garde groups that sprang up during the Thaw, as well as of individual writers who became active during this period: the Leningrad Neofuturists, the Chertkov group, the so-called Lianozovo poets, and Gennadii Aigi. I also touch on the fate of the “semi-official” avant- garde author Victor Sosnora and the “official” avant-gardist Andrei Voznesenskii, who managed to become an accepted member of the Soviet establishment and pursue a triumphant career. Even now, he effectively outdoes the former underground poets in popularity, remaining - in the eyes of many - the most significant (if not the only) avant- garde author of the Thaw generation. The persistence of this belief prompted me to take a « closer look at Voznesenskii's poetic development and his real impact on the experimental tradition. I also focus individually on a representative of the unofficial avant-garde poetry, Vsevolod Nekrasov, who chose to spend more than three decades in the literary underground rather than bow to the state’s political and aesthetic demands.

  • Caffeina E Vodka Italia E Russia: Futurismi a Confronto Claudia Salaris
    Caffeina e vodka Italia e Russia: futurismi a confronto Claudia Salaris Il viaggio di Marinetti in Russia Negli anni eroici del futurismo il fondatore Filippo Tommaso Marinetti era noto con il soprannome di “Caffeina d’Europa” per l’energia con cui diffondeva la religione del futuro da un paese all’altro. Uno dei suoi viaggi memorabili è quello in Russia all’inizio del 1914 1. Invitato a tenere un ciclo di conferenze a Mosca e a Pietroburgo, Il poeta ha accettato con entusiasmo, pensando a un patto d’unità d’azione con i fratelli orientali. Infatti nella terra degli zar il futurismo è nato con caratteristiche proprie,ma è sempre un parente stretto del movimento marinettiano. Nelle realizzazioni dell’avanguardia russa non sono pochi gli echi delle teorie e invenzioni del futurismo marinettiano. Ma, al contrario degli italiani che formano una specie di partito d’artisti omogeneo, i russi sono sparsi in diversi gruppi. Nel 1910 è uscita a Pietroburgo l’antologia Il vivaio dei giudici , a cui hanno collaborato, tra gli altri, i fratelli David e Nikolaj Burljuk, Elena Guro, Vasilij Kamenskij, Viktor Chlebnikov. A costoro presto si sono uniti Vladimir Majakovskij, Benedikt Livshich, Alexandr Kruchënych e alla fine del 1912 il gruppo, che intanto ha assunto il nome di Gileja, pubblica il volume Schiaffo al gusto corrente , che nel titolo rivela la matrice marinettiana, ricalcando il “disprezzo del pubblico” promulgato dal poeta italiano. Il libro collettivo contiene un editoriale-manifesto in cui i gilejani, rifiutando il passato e le accademie, esortano i giovani a “gettare Pushkin, Dostoevskij, Tolstoj, ecc.

Both a highly competent lithographer and a pioneer in the application of modernist principles to letterpress typography, Lissitzky advocated for works of art issued in “thousands of identical originals” even before the avant-garde embraced photography and film.

    Cultural Experimentation as Regulatory Mechanism in Response to Events of War and Revolution in Russia (1914-1940) Anita Tárnai Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2014 © 2014 Anita Tárnai All rights reserved ABSTRACT Cultural Experimentation as Regulatory Mechanism in Response to Events of War and Revolution in Russia (1914-1940) Anita Tárnai From 1914 to 1940 Russia lived through a series of traumatic events: World War I, the Bolshevik revolution, the Civil War, famine, and the Bolshevik and subsequently Stalinist terror. These events precipitated and facilitated a complete breakdown of the status quo associated with the tsarist regime and led to the emergence and eventual pervasive presence of a culture of violence propagated by the Bolshevik regime. This dissertation explores how the ongoing exposure to trauma impaired ordinary perception and everyday language use, which, in turn, informed literary language use in the writings of Viktor Shklovsky, the prominent Formalist theoretician, and of the avant-garde writer, Daniil Kharms. While trauma studies usually focus on the reconstructive and redeeming features of trauma narratives, I invite readers to explore the structural features of literary language and how these features parallel mechanisms of cognitive processing, established by medical research, that take place in the mind affected by traumatic encounters. Central to my analysis are Shklovsky’s memoir A Sentimental Journey and his early articles on the theory of prose “Art as Device” and “The Relationship between Devices of Plot Construction and General Devices of Style” and Daniil Karms’s theoretical writings on the concepts of “nothingness,” “circle,” and “zero,” and his prose work written in the 1930s.

  • Aleksandra Khokhlova
    Aleksandra Khokhlova Also Known As: Aleksandra Sergeevna Khokhlova, Aleksandra Botkina Lived: November 4, 1897 - August 22, 1985 Worked as: acting teacher, assistant director, co-director, directing teacher, director, film actress, writer Worked In: Russia by Ana Olenina Today Aleksandra Khokhlova is remembered as the star actress in films directed by Lev Kuleshov in the 1920s and 1930s. Indeed, at the peak of her career she was at the epicenter of the Soviet avant-garde, an icon of the experimental acting that matched the style of revolutionary montage cinema. Looking back at his life, Kuleshov wrote: “Nearly all that I have done in film directing, in teaching, and in life is connected to her [Khokhlova] in terms of ideas and art practice” (1946, 162). Yet, Khokhlova was much more than Kuleshov’s wife and muse as in her own right she was a talented author, actress, and film director, an artist in formation long before she met Kuleshov. Growing up in an affluent intellectual family, Aleksandra would have had many inspiring artistic encounters. Her maternal grandfather, the merchant Pavel Tretyakov, founder of the Tretyakov Gallery in Moscow, was a philanthropist and patron who purchased and exhibited masterpieces of Russian Romanticism, Realism, and Symbolism. Aleksandra’s parents’ St. Petersburg home was a prestigious art salon and significant painters, actors, and musicians were family friends. Portraits of Aleksandra as a young girl were painted by such eminent artists as Valentin Serov and Filipp Maliavin. Aleksandra’s father, the doctor Sergei Botkin, an art connoisseur and collector, cultivated ties to the World of Arts circle–the creators of the Ballets Russes.

  • Cubo-Futurism
    Notes Cubo-Futurism Slap in theFace of Public Taste 1 . These two paragraphs are a caustic attack on the Symbolist movement in general, a frequent target of the Futurists, and on two of its representatives in particular: Konstantin Bal'mont (1867-1943), a poetwho enjoyed enormouspopu­ larityin Russia during thefirst decade of this century, was subsequentlyforgo tten, and died as an emigrein Paris;Valerii Briusov(18 73-1924), poetand scholar,leader of the Symbolist movement, editor of the Salles and literary editor of Russum Thought, who after the Revolution joined the Communist party and worked at Narkompros. 2. Leonid Andreev (1871-1919), a writer of short stories and a playwright, started in a realistic vein following Chekhov and Gorkii; later he displayed an interest in metaphysicsand a leaning toward Symbolism. He is at his bestin a few stories written in a realistic manner; his Symbolist works are pretentious and unconvincing. The use of the plural here implies that, in the Futurists' eyes, Andreev is just one of the numerousepigones. 3. Several disparate poets and prose writers are randomly assembled here, which stresses the radical positionof the signatories ofthis manifesto, who reject indiscriminately aU the literaturewritt en before them. The useof the plural, as in the previous paragraphs, is demeaning. Maksim Gorkii (pseud. of Aleksei Pesh­ kov, 1�1936), Aleksandr Kuprin (1870-1938), and Ivan Bunin (1870-1953) are writers of realist orientation, although there are substantial differences in their philosophical outlook, realistic style, and literary value. Bunin was the first Rus­ sianwriter to wina NobelPrize, in 1933.AJeksandr Biok (1880-1921)is possiblythe best, and certainlythe most popular, Symbolist poet.
