It covers this brief period chronologically, and so permits a close inspection of the development of artistic policies in Russia under the Provisional Government followed by the Bolsheviks. Specifically, this book focuses on the pre-and post-revolutionary debate about the nature of proletarian art and its role in the new Socialist society, particularly focusing on festive decorations, parades and mass performances as expressions of proletarian art and forms of propaganda.Russian History and Culture20.Arts and societyRussia (Federation)Saint PetersburgHistory20th centuryFestivalsPolitical aspectsHistoryRussia (Federation)Saint Petersburg20th centuryCommunism and artRussia (Federation)Saint PetersburgWorking classRussia (Federation)Saint PetersburgHistory20th centurySaint Petersburg (Russia)Civilization20th centuryArts and societyHistoryFestivalsPolitical aspectsHistoryCommunism and artWorking classHistory701/.03Murray Natalia1087011NL-LeKBNL-LeKBBOOK9910796783103321Art for the workers3845900UNINA
