The rule of reality and the reality of the rule (on Soviet ideology and its “shift”)
Modernist Apparitions, or When a Situation Presents Itself
Modernism has been customarily identified with the reign of purified artistic form. Yet we know that it is equally often the (staged) irruption of potent subterranean contents, such as nature, myth, the irrational or the unconscious, the primitive, race, sexuality. It is the moment of rampant subjectivity, exercising total domination over materials, but equally of rampant essences that mold or mock the ego. It is associated no less with heightene…
Gorky’s return and the energetics of Soviet socialism

In this view, socialist realism is commonly denounced as an epistemological fraud, while quasi-dialectical formulas such as "reality in its revolutionary development" are viewed condescendingly as the fraud's fanciful garnish. Such an approach…

On the other hand, in addition to Russian and other Slavic languages, our Department had a long history of teaching Russian literature and Russian culture in English, and the…
