Futurism in the Russian Far East at the Beginning of the 1920s: The Historical and Cultural Context
-
Elena O. Kirillova
Abstract
This essay provides an overview of the vibrant cultural life in Vladivostok and other centres of the Russian Far East during the years 1917-1922, when Futurists who had arrived from central Russia played a leading rôle. In Vladivostok, a number of cultural and artistic associations, cabarets, theatres, studios, newspapers and magazines sprung up in these years and animated the cultural scene. The activities of the Literary and Artistic Society of the Far East (Literaturno-khudozhestvennoe obshchestvo Dal’nego Vostoka, LKhO DV), as well as the theatre studio Balaganchik (The Fairground Booth) and the cabaret Bi-ba-bo, are described in detail. Furthermore, the essay provides an overview of the art exhibitions connected with the avant-garde, and of the activities of Nikolai Aseyev, Sergei Tretyakov and, in particular, David Burliuk, who dominated the artistic scene during his stay in Vladivostok from the summer of 1919 to the autumn of 1920. The essay presents many facts, data, places and names which for the most part are unknown to non-specialists, especially non-Russian readers
