lolo leri (1 risultati)

No Binding. Condizione: Very Good. No Jacket. S. Anikin and N. Krivchenko (illustratore). WorldCat: Libraries worldwide that own item: 1. With 8 full page color illustrations, in folder. Rare emigrant publication printed in the early 1920s. The authors of the collection wrote under the pseudonyms Lolo (L. G. Munshteyn) and Leri (V.V. Klopotovsky). Both lived in Kiev for a long time and were interested in theater from their youth. Their satirical poetry, in the spirit of the best examples of Russian literature, was uncompromisingly honest and tart. Lolo and Leri were together at the same time that one of the readers of the newspaper Vozrozhdenie, in which both were published in exile, sent a letter to the editors, in which he doubted that Lolo and Leri were two different authors. The question was addressed in verse, so there was even the impression that the journalist was hiding behind the person of the correspondent, who had decided to laugh first at their similarity. Munshteyn and Klopotovsky left Russia by 1920, and therefore managed to catch some of the new orders established by the Bolsheviks. In many ways, the collection was a response to propaganda Soviet publications. The origins of a common world outlook and experiences related to the abandoned homeland and two favorite cities, Kiev and Moscow, refer to a turning point in the fate of each of the literati. Most of the poems included in the collection, refers to 1919-1921. The attitude towards Bolshevism as a phenomenon deeply hostile to Russian culture was fully manifested here. This view was close to many representatives of the intelligentsia, who found themselves among the emigrants of the first wave. The poetry showed resentment towards the bacchanalia and the anarchy of the proletarians. The assessments given to the leaders of the world proletariat and their followers were merciless and sarcastic. The authors observed from afar how the thing that was so loved in the past was subjected to abuse. The image of the flaming, plundered Utopia was supplemented by caricatures. Two of the eight images were made by artists S. Anikin and N. Krivchenko in the early 1920s. And were more personal, recognizable features of the author's style. The remaining six illustrations, made specifically for the collection, were created in a more modern manner. "Pictures of the Soviet paradise" presented a completely new reality: skinny cows grazing in the city courtyard, starving in the dining room, cheeky sailor and his friend from the Cheka, drunken workers asleep on the street. The life of a Soviet man, depicted on this side, became the best weapon against the communist idea.
