The modernists central to "Our Native Antiquity" located their antiquity in the Eurasian steppes, where they found objects and sites long denigrated as archaeological curiosities. The book follows the exemplary careers of two objects-the so-called "Stone Women" and the kurgan, or burial mound-and the attention paid to them by Russian and Soviet archaeologists, writers, artists, and filmmakers, for whom these artifacts served as resources for modernist art and letters and as arenas for a contest between vying conceptions of Russian art, culture, and history. 410 0$aStudies in Russian and Slavic literatures, cultures and history. 606 $aRussians$xOrigin 607 $aRussia$xAntiquities 607 $aRussia$xCivilization 615 0$aRussians$xOrigin. 676 $a947.00909 686 $aKI 1470$qBVB$2rvk 700 $aKunichika$b Michael$01662389 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910811324003321 996 $a"Our native antiquity"$94019028 997 $aUNINA
