"Soviet Age" in private spaces and global time
The article analyzes a number of fundamental studies of Russian and foreign scientists who became the «echo» of the 100th anniversary of the October Revolution. Their authors represent different areas of the humanities: history, sociology, cultural studies. The «methodological and philosophical turn» becomes the general methodological basis of the analyzed works. So the fundamental book «The Government House», created by the famous American scientist Yury Slezkin, is built on a detailed analysis of the life and existence of one of the first houses built for the new Soviet nomenclature. A little before the anniversary date, G. G. Dadamyan's interdisciplinary work «Atlantis of Soviet Art» was published, which was discussed in detail in Moscow, in 2018, at the conference in memory of the famous GITIS professor. On the eve of the 100th anniversary of the October Revolution in Germany, a monumental study by the famous German scientist Karl Schlögel, The Archeology of the Perished World, was published. Each author builds the concept of «their bricks». In Dadamyan's work, in his book Atlantis of Soviet Art, the paradigms of culture became the key concept. Dadamyan's paradigms contain gigantic material about the ups and downs of the Russian avant-garde between 1917-1932. In the book of the famous German Slavist, Professor K. Schlögel, «The Soviet Age. The archeology of the lost world» (2018) presents a consistent chain of «Soviet chronotopes»: from the «great construction projects» to the «queue» and «communal». Referring to the methodology of M. M. Bakhtin and N. P. Antsiferov, he analyzes local forms of Soviet civilization. The concepts outlined in the recently published books of Y. Slezkin, G. Dadamyan and K. Schlögel, radically differ from each other: different themes, material and author's position. German professor K. Schlögel acts as an implacable judge of the Soviet project. Y. Slezkin, who unleashed the universal tragedy of the Soviet House, is also close to him. Finally, Moscow professor G. Dadamyan, who lived most of his life in the Soviet space, wrote about his personal responsibility and involvement in the bygone era. The first post-revolutionary decades remained for him as time of unprecedented artistic discoveries.
