“Socialist in content, national in form:” the making of Soviet national art and the case of Buryatia.

2017 , Tagangaeva, Maria

This article examines the fine art of the Soviet national republics and its discourse in the Soviet Union, which were considerably shaped under the influence of socialist realism and Soviet nationality policy. While examining the central categories of Soviet artistic discourse such as the “national form,” “national distinctness,” and “tradition,” as well as cultural and scientific institutions responsible for the image of art of non-Russian nationalities, the author reveals the existence of a number of colonial features and discursive and institutional practices that foster a cultural divide between Russian and non-Russian culture and contribute to the marginalization of art. Special attention is paid to the implications of this discursive shaping for the local artistic scene in Buryatia.

Between the Soviet Past and Genghis Khan : Visual Arts in Contemporary Buryatia

2014-04-19 , Tagangaeva, Maria

The paper explores the Soviet and post-Soviet art discourse of the Russian Republic of Buryatia. While during the Soviet time, the art discourse in Buryatia and other national republics of the USSR was considerably influenced by the Soviet nationality policy, the post-Soviet art is being absorbed by the national revival discourse. The Soviet nationality policy fostered a contradictory national discourse that had a crucial impact on arts. The implementation of this discourse on visual arts in the Soviet national republics, as well as the effects on the artistic scene in post-Soviet Buryatia, will be showcased here by looking at the art and artistic career of two artists Dashi Namdakov and Zorikto Dorzhiev. Dashi Namdakov and Zorikto Dorzhiev are visual artists with Buryat roots whose art has become quite popular among the Russian economic and political elite. Sculptor Dashi Namdakov has made a remarkable breakthrough in the Russian art scene with his mysterious bronze statues. Since 2007 his name has become well-known in Russia and abroad as a result of his collaboration with the producer of the film "Mongol" by Sergey Bodrov. His exhibitions in the Tretyakov Gallery, the Hermitage, and the Beijing Museum created a big media stir. Among other projects, he has now been asked to create a statue of Genghis Khan in London. Zorikto Dorzhiev has also carried out one-man shows in prominent exhibition places in Russia and abroad. Their works are obviously inspired by their ethnicity and rooted in Buryat mythology and the Buddhist and Shamanist religions. The artists are particularly notable for two things: firstly, their working practices and career strategies, and secondly, the reception of their art in Russia and abroad. How is the artistic and economic logic combined in their careers? How is their art perceived in the Russian artistic field?

Political Humor on Russian Television

2013-04-01 , Tagangaeva, Maria

Russian television broadcasts a variety of comedy shows that include jokes about politicians and political topics. However, the jokes about President Vladimir Putin and Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev do not break the rules of official discourse and are not threatening to the regime since they merely give the appearance of satirizing the regime.
