This essay on movements in Russian art and aesthetics introduces a collection of essays, interviews, art, and other contributions by Russian scholars and artists and by international scholars. It situates a number of contemporary questions on art, aesthetics, culture, and politics in relation to the realities of post-Soviet Russia, emerging capitalism, and international Marxist currents. The essay briefly surveys the rise of Left practices and cultural movements from 2000 up to the present, and considers the implications of Marxist thought for contemporary art and politics. Keywords: Russian Neo-MarxismMarxist AestheticsThe LeftContemporary ArtRussia Acknowledgments The invitation by Rethinking Marxism to present contemporary views on art and politics by several contributors from the former Soviet Union presented a rare opportunity. I want to thank Susan Jahoda for her thoughtful guidance in our related research during our recent trip to Russia
