Petersburg, Crucible of Cultural Revolution

by Katarina Clark

  • CULTURAL PORTRAIT
  • 1998
  • PAPER
  • 384 PAGES

A case study of the cultural changes in St. Petersburg in the years 1913-1931 and how they coincided with the Russian Revolution. The author tries to discern how and why Stalinist culture arose, by looking at a variety of sources (from archived material to films and novels of the time) and offering her own revisionist theories. A focused and detailed analysis for those interested in the intellectual and artistic communities of the period.  (RUS43, $30.00)
