Mark Lipovetsky interprets this puzzling phenomenon through analysis of the most remarkable and fascinating literary and cinematic images of soviet and post-soviet tricksters, including such "cultural idioms" as Ostap Bender, Buratino, Vasilii Tyorkin, Shtirlitz, and others. The steadily increasing charisma of Soviet tricksters from the 1920's to the 2000's is indicative of at least two fundamental features of both the soviet and post-soviet societies. First, tricksters reflect the constant presence of irresolvable contradictions and yawning gaps within the soviet (as well as post-soviet) social universe. Secondly, these characters epitomize the realm of cynical culture thus far unrecognized in Russian studies. Soviet tricksters present survival in a cynical, contradictory and inadequate world, not as a necessity, but as a field for creativity, play, and freedom. Through an analysis of the representation of tricksters in soviet and post-soviet culture, Lipovetsky attempts to draw a virtual map of the soviet and post-soviet cynical reason: to identify its symbols, discourses, contradictions, and by these means its historical development from the 1920's to the 2000's. 410 0$aCultural revolutions. 606 $aRussian fiction$y20th century$xHistory and criticism 606 $aTricksters in literature 606 $aTricksters in motion pictures 606 $aMotion pictures$zSoviet Union$xHistory 606 $aMotion pictures$zRussia (Federation)$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aLiterature and society$zSoviet Union$xHistory 606 $aLiterature and society$zRussia (Federation)$xHistory$y20th century 615 0$aRussian fiction$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aTricksters in literature. 615 0$aTricksters in motion pictures. 615 0$aMotion pictures$xHistory. 615 0$aMotion pictures$xHistory 615 0$aLiterature and society$xHistory. 615 0$aLiterature and society$xHistory 676 $a891.73/409352 700 $aLipovet?skii?$b M.
