The Bolsheviks' Cultural War: Proletkult and the Birth of Soviet Art
Om avsnittet
After the guns of the Civil War fell silent, the Bolsheviks turned their attention to culture. This episode explores Proletkult, the mass movement that aimed to create a 'proletarian' art from scratch—free from bourgeois traditions. Lucas and Luna discuss its visionary leader Alexander Bogdanov, the clash with Lenin over artistic freedom, the rise of avant-garde experiments like Constructivism, and how the movement was ultimately crushed as Stalin centralized power. They also touch on the legacy of this cultural revolution in film, literature, and architecture, and what it reveals about the Bolsheviks' utopian ambitions.
