TY - JOUR AU - Максим Кирчанов PY - 2016/12/10 Y2 - 2024/03/28 TI - Between sovietised nation and nationalised sovietness, or how russian nationalists overcame frontierness in identity (from sovietization of discourse to the late soviet erosion) JF - Journal of Frontier Studies JA - jfs VL - 0 IS - 4 SE - Russian Frontier DO - UR - https://jfs.today/index.php/jfs/article/view/68 AB - The author analyzes the attempts of the Soviet Russian intellectuals to overcome the state frontier in cultural Russian identity in the Soviet period. The author believes that Russian identity had frontier character because of cultural and intellectual tactics of the Soviet authors rooted in the values ​​of universalism and the communist utopia. Russian authors in contrast to the national literatures were not successful in the synthesis of values of nationalism ​​and ideas of the communist utopia. The author in this article analyzes the different cultural and intellectual strategies of Russian authors and their attempts to overcome the state of frontier. The author used more than 50 texts as sources in a history of the Sovietised Russian literature. The author deliberately ignored the texts of the recognized and canonised Soviet classics. The selection and formation of this corpus of the sources allowed analyzing the different cultural tactics and strategies of Russian intellectuals ignored in the contemporary historiography. The diversity of cultural practices from socialist realism to constructivism and a variety of intellectual strategies from the attempts of tight Sovietization of discourse to its late anthropologisation are also analyzed in the article.
