Longing and Nostalgia in Post-Soviet Art and Literature Marchesini, Irina absence post-soviet Kabakov Fiks Astvatsaturov This article explores the phenomenon of nostalgia for the Soviet era found in contemporary Russian society and manifested both in contemporary art, such as in the installations of Il'ja Kabakov, Sergej Volkov, and Jevgenij Fiks, and in modern literature, especially in the prose of Andrej Astvacaturov. Such regret for a bygone past primarily mourns not the apparatus of the Soviet state, but the routine and the quality of familiar daily life. Insights from the fields of visual studies and trauma studies undergird this exploration of the relationship between a work of art's visual composition and its representation of toska, memory, and material culture in the Soviet era. By juxtaposing artwork with literary prose, we reveal the significant role had by 'reflective' toska-nostalgia (as defined by Svetlana Boym, 2001) in the formation of post-Soviet identity. 2022-06-01T12:06:37Z 2022-06-01T12:06:37Z 2015 chapter ONIX_20220601_9788866558224_7 2612-7679 9788866558224 https://library.oapen.org/handle/20.500.12657/55824 eng Biblioteca di Studi Slavistici application/pdf Attribution 4.0 International 15571.pdf https://books.fupress.com/doi/capitoli/978-88-6655-822-4_7 Firenze University Press 10.36253/978-88-6655-822-4.07 10.36253/978-88-6655-822-4.07 bf65d21a-78e5-4ba2-983a-dbfa90962870 9788866558224 28 17 Florence open access

This article explores the phenomenon of nostalgia for the Soviet era found in contemporary Russian society and manifested both in contemporary art, such as in the installations of Il'ja Kabakov, Sergej Volkov, and Jevgenij Fiks, and in modern literature, especially in the prose of Andrej Astvacaturov. Such regret for a bygone past primarily mourns not the apparatus of the Soviet state, but the routine and the quality of familiar daily life. Insights from the fields of visual studies and trauma studies undergird this exploration of the relationship between a work of art's visual composition and its representation of toska, memory, and material culture in the Soviet era. By juxtaposing artwork with literary prose, we reveal the significant role had by 'reflective' toska-nostalgia (as defined by Svetlana Boym, 2001) in the formation of post-Soviet identity.
