The History of Birobidzhan
Gennady Estraikh’s book is the first to explore the birth, growth, demise and afterlife of the Birobidzhan Jewish Autonomous Region (JAR). The History of Birobidzhan looks at how the shtetl was widely used in Soviet propaganda as a perfect solution to the ‘Jewish question’, arguing that in reality, while being demographically and culturally insignificant, the JAR played a key, and essentially detrimental, role in determining Jewish rights and ent…

Lives and Facts
The article examines the 1920s debates about biography in Soviet Russia. In the first section it seeks to explain why biography was an important area of research, of taxonomy and of self-conception, focusing on Semen Vengerov (the ‘old guard’), Boris Tomashevskii (the ‘taxonomist’) and Grigorii Vinokur (the ‘linguist’). In the second section, it endeavours to give a sense of what biographies or kinds of biographical writing were being produced in…

Mothers, father(s), daughter
This article explores Soviet traditions of documentary prose and in particular Aleksievich’s variant of that genre, focusing on U voiny – ne zhenskoe litso (Unwomanly Face of War). The changing nature of publishing and censorship in the period from 1984 to 2004, among other factors, created a text that is a “dynamic system” (Sivakova) and that has as much to do with the biography and literary methods of the author as with the subjects of her inte…

The Remarkable Pushkin
В статье рассматривается история жизнеописания А.С. Пушкина и не вполне успешные способы решения этой задачи авторами биографической серии «Жизнь замечательных людей». Изучение истории изображения Пушкина русскими биографами позволяет исследователю увидеть показательное переплетение русской историко-литературной проблематики вообще и истории «жизнеописания» как жанра в частности. В отличие от биографии как таковой, создание биографии писателя пон…
Fiction as Mapmaking
In his fiction written from the 1920s through 1940s Ivan Bunin set a number of stories in Moscow, naming specific places, many of which were closed or destroyed after the 1917 Revolution by the Soviet regime or by Nazi bombing during World War II. In so doing, Bunin used Moscow to map the cultural memory of the Russian emigration, with the ancient city of Moscow standing as its "memory palace" while contributing to the "Moscow text." In his 1944 …
Commemorating Pushkin
The Hero in the Madhouse
Using Viktor Pelevin's Chapaev and Pustota and Vladimir Makanin's Underground or a Hero of Our Time, Angela Brintlinger explores the way contemporary fiction portrays the post-Soviet intelligentsia and its search for identity in postmodern Russia. These authors juxtapose contemporary heroes with literary and historical heroes of the Russian and Soviet past in a struggle to come to terms with Soviet experience and the intelligentsia's relationship…
The Persian Frontier
Recent studies in the concept of Russian Orientalism have carved out new theoretical ground for a specifically Russian version, often tri-partite, of Edward Said’s well-known dichotomy of Orient and Occident. This essay builds on that research, on Lotman’s ideas of the poetics of everyday behaviour, and theories of the frontier to explore Aleksandr Griboedov’s life (and death) and their connections to literature. I argue that not only did Griboed…

Writing a Usable past
In Writing a Usable Past, Brintlinger considers the interactions of post-Revolutionary Russian and emigre culture with the genre of biography in its various permutations, arguing that in the years after the Revolution, Russian writers looked to the great literary figures of the past to help them construct a post-Revolutionary present. In detailed looks at the biographical writing of Yuri Tynianov, Vladislav Khodasevich, and Mikhail Bulgakov, Brin…
Childhood in Russia
This book provides a view of Russian culture today through the study of the concept of childhood. Descriptions of childhood memories, ideal childhoods, educational goals, and real-life children's accounts uncover the values and worldview of a people struggling to bring meaning to their lives. The data was collected in kindergartens, orphanages and homes in St. Petersburg and Moscow in 1990-1992. The depiction of children's values and ideals with …

The Autobiographical Novel of Co-Consciousness
In a comparative study, Galya Diment draws a novel comparison between two giants of Modernism and a relatively obscure 19th-century Russian Realist, claiming that three writers all re-invented idea of duality in literature. Focusing on Woolf's To Lighthouse, Joyce's Ulysses and Goncharov's Common Story, she introduces and redefines idea of as mechanism that allows each work to transcend genre of autobiographical bildungsroman and classical tradit…
