Abstract:

Totalitarianism has been an object of extensive communicative research since its heyday: already in the late 1930s, such major cultural figures as George Orwell or Hannah Arendt were busy describing the visual and verbal languages of Stalinism and Nazism. After the war, many fashionable trends in social sciences and humanities (ranging from Begriffsgeschichte and Ego-Documentology to Critical Linguistics and Critical Discourse Analysis) were called upon to continue this media-centered trend in the face of increasing political determination of the burgeoing field. Nevertheless, the integration

Abstract:

The quintessentially Soviet element of cultural development in the USSR between 1932 and 1991 was Socialist Realism. The period prior to the 1930s was its preface and that from the mid-1950s a long post-script. By the mid-1980s, Soviet publics had moved irreversibly beyond Socialist Realism in all the arts, and no viable new contender could assume the particularist mantle. The best official offerings to compete with new Western movements after 1945 were too little and too late. In the absence of a viable particularist contender and with institutions of isolationism eroding, Soviet culture inex

Abstract:

This chapter traces the early emergence of official Marxist historiography in the USSR under the leadership of M. N. Pokrovskii, and its 1930s’ Stalinization. The late 1930s had a formative impact on the Soviet historical profession. It was then that the official academic culture of research and teaching took shape, definitive scholarly works and textbooks were published, and important subterranean intellectual currents emerged. These years also ineradicably affected historians’ lives, thoughts, and memories. They marked the peak of mass arrests and executions, when history professors and stud

The book provides a cultural and intellectual history of the era in which the shaping of the Soviet nation was completed.

Sonic Overload presents a musically centered cultural history of the late Soviet Union. It focuses on polystylism in music as a response to the information overload swamping listeners in the Soviet Union during its final decades. The central themes are collage, popular music, kitsch, and eschatology. The book traces the ways in which leading composers Alfred Schnittke and Valentin Silvestrov initially embraced and assimilated popular sources before ultimately rejecting them. Polystylism first responded to the utopian impulses of Soviet doctrine with utopian impulses to encompass all musical st

Abstract Dmitry Shostakovich was the first Russian musician to emerge as a composer for the Soviet cinema in the late 1920s. The Early Film Music of Dmitry Shostakovich (OUP, 2016), the first of a trilogy on Shostakovich’s music for cinema, provides a discussion of his first experiments in film scoring from 1928 to 1936. From 1936 to 1953, he grew into his role as film composer during the height of Stalinism. This book, the second of the trilogy, continues the work of the first by providing an examination of his emergence as a preeminent film composer, and his navigation of the Soviet film ind

This book is a quasi-guide into the underground hippieland, situating the world of hippies firmly in late Soviet reality and offering an unusual history of the last Soviet decades as well as a case study in the power of transnatio

Abstract This book is about the ballets of Dmitri Shostakovich—The Golden Age, The Bolt, and The Limpid Stream. Shostakovich composed these works in the late 1920s and early 1930s in Leningrad at a time when he consolidated his position as Soviet Russia’s preeminent young composer. The Limpid Stream proved hugely successful and was even staged as part of the 1935 celebrations for Stalin’s birthday at the Bolshoi Theatre in Moscow. Six weeks later, however, the ballet was condemned, just a week after Shostakovich’s opera Lady Macbeth suffered a similar fate. Shostakovich never wrote another bal

The essays in this collection make up the first study of “dropping out” of late state socialism in Eastern Europe and the Soviet Union. From Leningrad intellectuals and Berlin squatters to Bosnian Muslim madrassa students and Romanian yogis, groups and individuals across the Eastern Bloc rejected mainstream socialist culture. In the process, multiple drop-out cultures were created, with their own spaces, music, values, style, slang, ideology and networks. Under socialism, this phenomenon was little-known outside the socialist sphere. Only very recently has it been possible to reconstruct it th

From the late 1950s, however, Anglican radicals drew on Christian eschatology to propagate a radically alternative vision, which interpreted recent declines in ‘religion’ as evidence of humanity’s permanent transition into an u

They succeeded in this task because the ideas of anticapitalism, antifascism, and liberation from colonial exploitation inspired so many around the world. Recontextual
