Domestic textiles of the post-war years may be roughly divided into three periods. The patterns of the first post-war years and the beginning of the 1950s keep a stylistic unity with the pre-war period. Most of the drawings associated from our perspective with the image of the 60s were created in a rather short period of 1956–1965 and expressed themselves in bright rich ornaments. In the last four years, there has been a gradual evolution of textile patterns towards the organic plastics of Art Nouveau and “refinement” of forms, which create uniform filling of the fabric`s plane. The restoration of the textile industry began even before the end of the war. Since 1944, the unaffected enterprises resumed producing printed textiles for the population. In the first post-war years, drawings with the use of folk motifs most often represented an imitation of embroidery and weaving. The end of the 1950s and the beginning of the 1960s came to be a time of radical changes in a social and political life of the USSR. The artistic design of textiles comes under the influence of ideas of “international style”, the experimental search for unofficial art of the time, and international contacts. The motifs of folk art receive a figurative and emotional interpretation.","PeriodicalId":41255,"journal":{"name":"Vestnik Slavianskikh Kultur-Bulletin of Slavic Cultures-Scientific and Informational Journal","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74033516","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The image created by Lermontov was always perceived as a capacious symbol, and his interpretations were determined by the “spirit” of the historical era. This characteristic of Lermontov's “The sail” determine the relevance of the proposed research. The scientific novelty of the work pertains to systematization, analysis and conceptualization of the social and cultural receptions of the poet's poem in the national tradition. The paper presents the history of creation of the poem, draws attention to its biographical context and suggests versions of the poet’s refusal to include “The sail” in the only lifetime collection of his works. The study also considers the first critical receptions of the “The sail”, especially the position of V. G. Belinsky, who perceived Lermontov’s poem as a typical youthful, student composition of the poet. Despite the fact “The sail” entered the curriculum of high schools, chrestomathies and got the status of a lyrical masterpiece in Lermontov’s poetry and the canonical text of Russian culture. The authors believe that the consolidation of such status of “The sail” in a national cultural consciousness is due to the complex internal structure of the central image-symbol, in which the image plan and the meditative plan reveal the antinomy of the spiritual world of the personality. As the study shows while in the research practice “The sail” is most often interpreted as an expression of revolutionary, including Decembrist moods, in the scientific works of recent years, the poet’s poem is included in the context of the Christian tradition. The paper summarizes and analyzes creative experience of the artistic representation of the Lermontov image-symbol in national poetry drawing on the works of K. Fofanov, S. Yesenin and V. Vysotsky. The authors argue that, with all the differences in readings and interpretations, Lermontov’s “The sail” in the Russian cultural consciousness has become a symbol of impetuous and unstoppable movement, the desire of a self-worthy person for great changes in his own fate and the world around him. This semantic plan, which confirms the statement of the Chairman of the People's Republic of China, XI Jinping, characterizes the perception of Lermontov’s poem by foreign readers, and the sail, as a symbolic image of Russian culture, is also relevant for another national tradition.","PeriodicalId":41255,"journal":{"name":"Vestnik Slavianskikh Kultur-Bulletin of Slavic Cultures-Scientific and Informational Journal","volume":"22 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74868939","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The authors consider the integration processes in project culture using the example of environmental design. The paper outlines modern approaches to art and design organization of space, where axiologically-oriented design thinking of a designer and understanding of the continuity of artistic traditions in shaping the spatial environment are of critical value. In this context, a new quality is given to the natural conformity and the place of conformity of design solutions, taking into account architectural asset of the area and architectural environmental scenario. The study demonstrates that design and artistic integration processes represent a new and complex design synthesis, determining integrity of the environment and aesthetic shaping. The design and artistic synthesis allows expressing the concepts, values, creative intentions and perceptual actions of the designer and establishing connections with historical and cultural reality which enables us to consider the definition of “project-artistic synthesis” as a holistically structured system in the existence of project culture.","PeriodicalId":41255,"journal":{"name":"Vestnik Slavianskikh Kultur-Bulletin of Slavic Cultures-Scientific and Informational Journal","volume":"144 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74940492","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The authors trace the most significant historical stages of formation and features of artistic domestic textiles. It is noted that the manufacturing period had a crucial impact on the development of domestic geometric ornament. Industrial technologies made it possible to obtain more complex ornamental compositions on the surface of the fabric compared to the printed pattern of handicraft fabrics. The study also analyzes the impact of constructivism as a new style of the early 20th century, considers geometrized propaganda textiles, which influenced the formation of new views on the creation of artistic techniques for designing geometric ornamental textile patterns and briefly, on separate examples, dwells on the stylistic trends of the middle — the second half of the 20th century, which affected the shaping of artistic and aesthetic concept of designing a modern geometric pattern. The authors pay particular attention to modern methods of designing geometric textile ornaments. It has been determined that a modern geometric ornament combines various design approaches and technologies for its application to fabric, which makes it possible to obtain completely new artistic and figurative solutions and aesthetic features of perception. The paper points out the possibilities of developing the structural organization of geometric ornamental forms in modern domestic textile design.","PeriodicalId":41255,"journal":{"name":"Vestnik Slavianskikh Kultur-Bulletin of Slavic Cultures-Scientific and Informational Journal","volume":"4 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82202552","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper traces the connections between “Love in Crimea” by Mrozhek and “Leaving” by Havel with Chekhov's plays “The Seagull”, “Uncle Vanya”, “Three Sisters” and “The Cherry Orchard”. “Three Sisters” and “The Cherry Orchard” by Chekhov became the basis for the creation of Mrozhek's play “Love in the Crimea”. In the first act of the play (1910) the atmosphere of Chekhov's drama, some Chekhov's heroes, the style of the Russian playwright are recreated, and in the last act (1990s) Chekhov's images are transformed and testify to the destruction of Russian life and culture. In the play “Leaving” Vaclav Havel relies mainly on the images and symbols of Chekhov's “The Cherry Orchard\", transferred to the 21st century and politically shaped to fit the new realities. The image of time will turn out to be the key: Mrozhek and Havel address the Chekhov's drama to show the connection between times, to reflect in a historical perspective the conflict between the moral and therefore the lonely person and the pragmatic world.","PeriodicalId":41255,"journal":{"name":"Vestnik Slavianskikh Kultur-Bulletin of Slavic Cultures-Scientific and Informational Journal","volume":"14 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87854313","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Tsvetaeva resumed work on the manuscript, which was smuggled to Moscow by some free workers employed in the camp, in 1960, after she had served her term of “perpetual exile” in Siberia. Yet the definitive, canonical text was completed only in the 1980s. The novel was first published in the journal Moskva. The paper examines the novel from a concrete, genre-based perspective and interprets it as a lyrical work, owing to its focus on the psychological depiction of the consciousness of the protagonist, Nikki, Tsvetaeva’s alter ego. The genre of the lyrical novel, to which the work conforms, determines its poetics. Amor exhibits a degree of multilayered lyrical fragmentation that frames several of its aspects: narrational and compositional structure (a multilayered chronotope), mythopoetic dimension (a novel about the authorial self, the poem about Moritz, and the author’s own verse productions), discursive design (complex monologues of a voiced and interior kind), portrait sketches, and landscapes notes. By making use of this lyrical genre during a period of the totalitarian enslavement of the individual, Tsvetaeva asserts the value of every human being and gives expression of her axiological and humanistic stance, aimed at defending personhood under any historical and social circumstances.","PeriodicalId":41255,"journal":{"name":"Vestnik Slavianskikh Kultur-Bulletin of Slavic Cultures-Scientific and Informational Journal","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88165350","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this regard, the paper looked to determine the validity of such a statement. To meet this objective the author involved an extensive material on Russian culture and specifics of the Russian people`s character in a cultural and historical context: from Ancient Russia to the modern stage of civilizational development. The character of the Russian people and its cultural code have been formed over the centuries, enriched by their own and world experience under the influence of various factors. It was determined that, as in any other country, ressentiment emerged at crucial moments in the state`s history: during wars, revolutions, crises accompanied by the transformation of the value system, the crisis of culture. Russian culture is characterized by tolerance, kindness, forgiveness, generosity, mercy, compassion, which gives grounds to the following idea: envy, hatred, meanness, and revenge, which contribute to the formation of ressentiment, are not characteristic for a Russian person, therefore, ressentiment is not a characteristic feature of the Russian people. The paper articulates the idea that any position that asserts ressentiment as a characteristic feature of a nation or ethnic group, is a delusion. Resentment is formed in the presence of unfavorable socio-economic and cultural conditions in individual individuals, groups, marginal communities outside of belonging to a particular nation or ethnic group. Still the modern society gives shelter to the factors that contribute to the formation of ressentiment and its dissemination through information and communication technologies. The paper comes up with methods of preventing ressentiment.","PeriodicalId":41255,"journal":{"name":"Vestnik Slavianskikh Kultur-Bulletin of Slavic Cultures-Scientific and Informational Journal","volume":"151 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81647826","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Gorky with a provincial forgotten writer Arkady Alexandrovich Vdovin (pseudonym Arkady Severny). Severny's letters to Gorky are not only the one of the few sources for Severny's biography, but also an important source of data for the yet-to-be-written history of the province's post-revolutionary literary life. They illustrate the mass literary movement of the 1920s and 1930s, and introduce new information about Gorky's informal interest in supporting the interest of aspiring authors in literary work. Gorky's correspondence with aspiring writers from the provinces enriches perceptions about the history of Soviet everyday life, characterizes the alignment of literary forces grouped around writers' unions, literary practices of local associations of proletarian writers, everyday behavior of their members. Severny is a writer who positioned himself as a member of the Moscow Association of Proletarian Writers. Little is known about his biography. The fact of his presumed residing in the Volga Region is retrieved according to some newspaper publications. They show that Severny repeatedly recited his poems in different corners of Saratov. His autobiographical poem “About Myself” published on 26th of the November, 1925 in “The Bolshevik Juveniles” demonstrates that he was taken into Komsomol and had a background of a factory worker. He accentuated his proletarian origin to get in touch with Gorky. In the early 1930s, Severny's letters to Gorky remained unanswered. The reason for this was Severny's attempt to sell Gorky's letters to him to the editors of the Leningrad magazine “Rezets”.","PeriodicalId":41255,"journal":{"name":"Vestnik Slavianskikh Kultur-Bulletin of Slavic Cultures-Scientific and Informational Journal","volume":"232 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76878914","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
