Soviet art of the 1920s, which has been the subject of numerous scholarly and popular works, is often perceived as a unified aesthetic movement inspired by the idea of building a new socialist culture. However, the cultural landscape of the era was shaped not only by radical and innovative projects of the artistic avant-garde. The book "The Soviet Twenties" serves as a kind of introduction to the visual practices of the decade. The first chapter provides an overview of the main trends in visual arts of the 1920s, the second discusses architecture from the perspective of the 1932 New York exhibition, the third is dedicated to the photographic practices of the avant-garde, and the fourth explores various approaches to "montage-factual cinema" associated with the names of Lev Kuleshov, Sergei Eisenstein, Dziga Vertov, and Esther Shub. The authors invite readers to view the Soviet twenties as a period that encompassed conservatism, nostalgia, pragmatic compromises, disagreements among representatives of leftist art, and contradictions between declarations and artistic practice.
