Shklovsky's Theory of Parody
This essay presents Viktor Shklovsky's writings on Sergei Eisenstein's theatrical production The Wise Guy (Mudrets, 1923) as an embryo of an original theory of parody. The author offers a comparison of Shklovsky's concept of parody with theories of parody by a fellow Formalist Yuri Tynianov and Formalists’ opponent Mikhail Bakhtin. Shklovsky's theory of parody facilitates a double-edge laughter that smashes old, traditional forms and simultaneous…

A Trickster in Drag
The article discusses an artistic method of the post-Soviet artist Vlad Mamyshev-Monroe (1969–2013) as the nexus of several traditions embedded in modernist legacy. His main genre is remastered (scratched) photographs depicting him impersonating various historical and fictional characters, from Marylyn Monroe (whom he considered his alter ego) to Hitler, Jesus Christ, and Putin. His art and artistically designed image creatively develop the tradi…
Performative Practices and Life-Creation
Beginning with Nikolai Evreinov’s concept of the perfomative formed at the turn of the twentieth century, this article discusses performative practices and life-creation in the underground of the 1960s–1970s (excluding the performance art per se). According to Evreinov, the “theatrlization of life” is defined by the transgression of existing norms (behavioral, social, cultural, and moral) coupled withthe excess, redundancy, and demonstrative over…

A History of Russian Literature
The History of Russian Literature provides a comprehensive account of Russian writing from its earliest origins in the monastic works of Kiev up to the present day, still rife with the creative experiments of post-Soviet literary life. Five chronological parts by design unfold in diachronic histories; they can be read individually but are presented as inseparable across the span of a national literature. Throughout its course, this History follow…
The poetics of language
The chapter analyzes language-oriented poets and movements, showing how different conceptions of the poetic word emerged and influenced writing and performance throughout the period. The chapter follows the ramifications of avant-garde experiment, expressed in manifestos, public gestures, and performances. These innovations continued to influence the artistic practices of the 1920s and were revived later in the 1960s–80s. They comprised a legacy …
Local narratives
Intergenerational feuds gave rise to literary works about dynastic continuity, which transformed local military warriors into religious heroes and led to the elevation of the Grand Prince as a national leader, a position crystallized late in the period by Ivan IV. The chapter charts a narrative about invasion and survival after the thirteenth-century depredations of the Mongols, and discusses how scribal techniques adjusted versions of texts to s…
Narratives of nation-building
This chapter focuses on two related subjects: the sharpening of historical awareness and the formation of Russian national consciousness. Mature historical narratives inspired historical fiction and drama. Tolstoy’s War and Peace offered a powerful nationalistic view of the Napoleonic Wars. Russians of all political persuasions attempted to articulate a view of Russia as a multinational empire and to define specifically Russian historical path. T…
Interlude
In this space between the Poetics of Subjectivity and the Poetics of Language, we want to pause briefly to consider several otherwise unrelated poets who, for a portion of their careers, did not fit into the reigning poetic movements of their age, or do not smoothly align with the critical trends that dominated Russian literary studies in the twentieth century. These poets straddle the two types of poetics we have foregrounded in this part of our…
Prose Fiction
This chapter considers the prose genres that developed in the period and their relative artistic success and limitations, recognizing that poetry had been much more open to innovation than prose. Forms such as the memoir (fictional as well as real), autobiography, letter writing, the allegorical novel, and the short story conform to the general pattern of literary norms adapted from European models. The chapter explains that a gap opened between …

The Art of Penultimate Truth”
The article discusses the corpus of Dmtri Prigov's manifestoes, articles, and programmatic interviews as a manifestation of a coherent theoretical concept. The author of the article argues that Prigov's theoretical ideas are structured in accordance with his own central artistic category–for which, oddly enough, he did not have a common name. The author refers to this category as performativity , although Prigov himself did not use this word, pre…

The uncanny in bazhov’s tales
P. P. Bazhov’s tales are considered through the prism of S. Freud’s theory of the uncanny (Unheimlich). The analysis focuses on the previously unstudied motifs of death and sexuality in the tales and connects the inner atmosphere of Malachite Casket with the atmosphere of fear and terror, which accompanied the creation of tales, as well as substantiates the new interpretation of The Mistress of the Copper Mountain as an alternative to the nationa…
