Mayakovsky on the Land
It is surprising that Vladimir Mayakovsky, the poet whose self-proclaimed mission was to give city streets a language, turned to publicizing farming collectives. No less noteworthy is the fact that this poet of internationalism worked on the ethnocentric project of promoting Jewish agrarian communities in Crimea. This article addresses Mayakovsky’s collaboration on the film Evrei na zemle (Jews on the Land, 1927), and his poems “Evrei (Tovarishch…
Vladimir Mayakovsky's Agit‐Semitism
Images of Jewishness as ethnic, cultural, and biblical categories in Vladimir Mayakovsky's works are both plentiful and understudied.

I analyze thesubtext of Pushkin’s fairy tale within the pre-Revolutionary marketing practice of engaging national identity. At the same time, the Soviet poets subvert the status of magic in fairy tales, otherwise central to…
Poema of Lieutenant Schmidt's End
Boris Pasternak’s poemy are acutely self-conscious of their place in the epic tradition. Lieutenant Schmidt (LS) represents one attempt at exploring the parameters of the poema itself as the poet makes a “difficult” transition from “lyric thinking” to “the epic.” In this article I examine this transition against a contemporaneous example in the genre, Tsvetaeva’s Poema of the End (PE). In LS, structural elements of the poema are counterposed to t…
