Spiritual life 20. Cultural and spiritual life in the late XIX - early XX century

Question 01. What importance did the Soviet government attach to the eradication of illiteracy?

Answer. The Soviet government attached great importance to the eradication of illiteracy. Firstly, it was initially focused on the growth of the number of the proletariat, and the development of technology at that time had long reached a stage where at least a minimum level of education was required to work in an enterprise. Secondly, education was organized absolutely differently from pre-revolutionary standards, and through it the communist party rooted its ideals among the masses.

Question 02. What were the negative and positive sides of the new Soviet school?

Answer. Positive sides:

1) access to education was given to groups of the population that previously, due to property and national characteristics, had almost no access to it;

2) education became completely free;

3) elements of self-government were introduced into education;

4) new pedagogical methods were introduced, including more time for students to work independently in groups;

5) a large-scale and rather effective system of work with homeless children has emerged;

6) an effective system for the elimination of adult illiteracy has appeared.

Negative sides:

1) many received places in universities not on the basis of knowledge, but on the basis of class affiliation and loyalty to the party;

2) many teachers died or immigrated, new ones were also recruited on the principle of loyalty to the new regime, because of which the level of education fell.

Question 03. Why did a significant part of the Russian intelligentsia not accept the Bolshevik regime? What are the motives of those who recognized Soviet power?

Answer. Firstly, before the revolution, a significant part of the intelligentsia occupied an active political position, it was not monarchist, but the majority of the intelligentsia did not have communist views either. Most importantly, during the Civil War, the power of the communists showed its face. The intellectuals did not belong to the proletariat, whose dictatorship was proclaimed by the authorities, many went through prisons and concentration camps, where they got only because of their class affiliation. Many were shocked by the rejection by the new government of any alternative opinion. It is not surprising that such a number of intellectuals did not accept Soviet power, it is more surprising that part of the pre-revolutionary intelligentsia accepted it. The latter really believed that the new government would be able to create a new person and build a real paradise on earth.

Question 04. What role did the collection "Change of milestones" play?

Answer. The “change of milestones” convinced many intellectuals both inside the country and in immigration that by serving the Soviet government, they are serving the cause of the restoration and revival of Russia, and the Soviet government is not as “red” as it wants to seem. This collection of articles influenced many famous cultural figures who later returned from immigration to the USSR.

Question 05. What are the reasons for the persecution directed against the Orthodox Church and its ministers?

Answer. The socialist revolutionary movement was originally atheistic (this applied to representatives of all parties, not only the Bolsheviks). But it was not only that. After the seizure of power, the Bolsheviks wanted to remain the only ones who determine the spiritual life of the country.

Question 06. What are the main features of the "new Soviet art"?

Answer. Main features:

1) the new art "thrown into the dustbin" the achievements of the old;

2) it was required to evaluate the works in terms of not their artistic merit, but the class affiliation and political preferences of the author;

3) art has not only new ideas, but also new expressive forms;

4) art was supposed to serve the construction of a new society, therefore, for example, serious artists and poets began to create posters.

Entering the 20th century, Russia was changing. The world was also changing. The industrial age dictated its own conditions and norms of life. Under their onslaught, traditional values ​​and ideas of people collapsed. Russian culture experienced an amazing flourishing. He embraced all kinds of creative activity, gave rise to outstanding works of art and scientific discoveries, new directions of creative search, discovered brilliant names that have become the pride of not only Russian, but also world culture, science and technology. Early 20th century called the Silver Age of Russian culture. The Silver Age is historical time since the 90s

19th century to 1922.

However, one of the main contradictions was not overcome Russian life- the inaccessibility of high achievements of culture to the broad masses and isolation from them.

Spiritual life in the 20s.

In 1919 the government of the RSFSR adopted a decree "On the elimination of illiteracy among the population of Russia", according to which all citizens aged 8 to 50 were required to learn to read and write in their native or Russian language. However, the conditions of the Civil War and devastation prevented the solution of the task. In the mid 1920s. only about half of the population of the USSR over the age of 9 were literate.

Figures of the artistic culture of the Silver Age met the proletarian revolution in different ways. Some of them believed that domestic cultural traditions would either be trampled underfoot or brought under the control of the new government. Valued above all the freedom of creativity, they chose the lot of emigrants. By the mid-20s. writers, poets, composers, singers, musicians, artists found themselves abroad: I.A. Bunin, A.I. Kuprin, A.K. Glazunov, S.S. Prokofiev, S.V. Rakhmaninov, F.I. Chaliapin , I.E. Repin, V.V. Kandinsky, M.Z. Chagall and others.

Other prominent cultural figures did not choose the fate of emigrants. Such as A. A. Akhmatova, M. A. Voloshin, M. M. Prishvin, M. A. Bulgakov, went into deep spiritual opposition, continued the traditions of Russian dissent.

It seemed to many that the revolution, like a cleansing thunderstorm, would rejuvenate the country and awaken the creative forces. They went towards a new life, considering themselves the successors of the revolutionary traditions of Russian culture.

The October Revolution was already for the first time sung in the verses of V.V. Mayakovsky and A.A. Blok, depicted in the paintings of K.S. Petrov-Vodkin and B.M. Mayakovsky's play directed by V.E. Meyerhold and designed by K.S. Malevich.

With the end of the Civil War, the Bolsheviks began to actively control the spiritual life in the country. In August 1921 some scientists and cultural figures of a certain Petrograd military organization were shot, including the chemist M.M. Tikhvinsky and the poet N.S. Gumilyov.

At the end of August 1922 the Soviet government expelled from the country 160 scientists and cultural figures who did not share the ideological principles of Bolshevism, but were not active fighters against it.

In 1922 Glavlit was established, which controlled all printed products. A year later, the Main Repertoire Committee joined him, he controlled the repertoire of theaters and other entertainment events. Their task was to prevent materials objectionable to the authorities from leaking into public life.

The Bolsheviks set themselves the goal of educating a "new man" worthy of living in a communist society. For the Bolsheviks, religion was a dangerous competitor in the spiritual life of the country. April - May 1922. in Moscow and in July in Petrograd, trials were organized, a number of major church hierarchs were sentenced to death on charges of counter-revolutionary activities. Patriarch Tikhon was arrested and transferred to prison. In 1925, after the death of Patriarch Tikhon, the authorities did not allow the election of a new patriarch, and Metropolitan Peter, who assumed patriarchal duties, was exiled to Solovki.

The Bolsheviks needed new artistic forms of influence on feelings, agitation for a communist future. The art of the poster flourished, the masters of this genre - V.N. Denis (“Gang”), D.S. Moor (“Have you signed up as a volunteer?”, “Help!”). "Windows of satire ROSTA" (Russian Telegraph Agency) - new form propaganda art. Sharp satirical posters with brief poetic texts covered topical events, illustrated telegrams that were transmitted by the agency to newspapers.

The spiritual life of Soviet society in the first years of Soviet power was characterized by relative freedom, but as Stalin's position strengthened, a party attack on culture began.

Culture of Russia Late XIX - early XX century. became an extremely fruitful period in the development national culture. The spiritual life of society, reflecting the rapid changes that took place in the face of the country at the turn of the two centuries, the turbulent political history of Russia in this era, was distinguished by exceptional wealth and diversity. “In Russia at the beginning of the century there was a real cultural renaissance,” wrote N.A. Berdyaev. “Only those who lived at that time know what a creative upsurge we experienced, what a breath of spirit captured the Russian souls.” The creativity of Russian scientists, figures of literature and art has made a huge contribution to the treasury of world civilization.


Science and natural science In the second half of the XIX century. Science is moving forward as one of the most important areas social activities. Discoveries of world importance were made in the field of chemistry. Professor of St. Petersburg University Dmitry Ivanovich Mendeleev () formulated in 1869 the periodic law chemical elements, which has become one of the most important in natural science. D. I. Mendeleev


Naturalist Ivan Mikhailovich Sechenov () a student of G. Helmholtz and teacher of I.P. Pavlov, was an innovator in the field of physiology. The result of his studies of higher nervous activity was the work "Reflexes of the Brain" (1866), which proved the unity and interaction of mental and physical processes in the body. The works of the founder of soil science Vasily Vasilyevich Dokuchaev () and the main one of them "Russian Chernozem" (1883) are associated with the successes of natural science. The scientist argued that the soil is a special natural organism with its own laws of formation, development and impoverishment. Dokuchaev compiled a map of soil features European Russia and gave a classification of soils in the country (1886). I. M. Sechenov


Geography Russian geographers and naturalists have significantly enriched their ideas not only about their own country, but also about the Earth, its continents and continents. In the 6090s. a brilliant galaxy of indefatigable travelers is advancing, exploring the little-studied edges of the Earth. The Russian Geographical Society, headed by P.P. Semyonov-Tyan-Shansky, who replaced its founder F.P. Litke in 1873, played an important role in organizing the expeditions. P.P. Semenov was the first European to travel through the Tien Shan mountains (). Nikolai Mikhailovich Przhevalsky () after an expedition to the Ussuri Territory () carried out four expeditions to Central Asia(), having visited Tibet, Mongolia, China. He discovered many previously unknown mountain ranges, rivers and lakes, for the first time described unknown breeds of animals (Tibetan bear, Przewalski's horse, etc.), collected a valuable collection of plants. Przhevalsky N. M.


Nikolai Nikolaevich Miklukho-Maclay () traveled outside of Russia, having visited the years. Madeira, Morocco, New Guinea. In the years for scientific purposes was in the Malay Islands of Polynesia. Close friendly contacts of the Russian scientist with the local population gave him the opportunity to conduct serious anthropological and ethnographic research, capable of resisting racist theories. N. N. Miklukho-Maclay


Art In Russian culture of the second half of the XIX century. literature prevailed. The ideological and aesthetic principles of critical realism that dominated it had a powerful impact on all areas of art. Determining here are the demands of closeness to life, to the people, the desire to respond to the demands of society, to satisfy its needs for truth, for beauty, which art is already looking for in reality itself.


Painting The process of renewal in painting began with a "riot" at the Academy of Fine Arts of Young Artists in 1863. Refusing to write competition works on traditional subjects from mythology, they demanded a free choice of topics. Having been refused, 14 painters, headed by I. N. Kramskoy, left the academy and founded the Artel of Artists. It served as a stepping stone to a new association in 1870 of the Association of Traveling Art Exhibitions, which finally took shape with the adoption of the charter in 1876. Over the two decades of its existence, the Wanderers showed exhibitions of their paintings in more than 20 cities. Their union was both professional, and ideological, and commercial, uniting almost all talented artists who asserted the principles of realism and nationality.


To the fore in the 6070s. genre painting with its pronounced social motives came to the fore. Here, Vasily Grigorievich Perov () achieved serious success with his paintings of district and rural post-reform Russia (“Tea drinking in Mytishchi”, “Arrival of the police officer for investigation”, “Rural religious procession at Easter”), The artist rises to genuine tragedy, painting the funeral of an orphaned peasant the family of his breadwinner (“Seeing the Dead Man”), Grigory Grigorievich Myasoedov () managed to convey the poetry of peasant labor (“Mowers”), the close connection of the rural world with nature, dependence on it (“Drought”), showed the relationship of peasants with zemstvo institutions (“ Zemstvo is having lunch). The heyday of the work of Ilya Efimovich Repin () falls at the beginning of the 20th century, but already in the 1870s. showed his great talent. An event in art and in public life was the painting "Barge Haulers on the Volga" (1872). In the faces of barge haulers, sharply individual and at the same time forming a single whole, patience and suffering, humility and readiness for protest. Responding to the painful questions of the time, Repin creates a kind of triptych about the Raznochinsk intelligentsia: "The Arrest of a Propaganda", "Refusal of Confession", "They Didn't Wait".


The paintings of Nikolai Aleksandrovich Yaroshenko () “Student”, “Cursist”, “Stoker” are devoted to new types of post-reform Russia. From the thick of everyday city life, plots of paintings by Vladimir Egorovich Makovsky () “On the Boulevard”, “Bank Collapse”, “Date”, “Party”, “I won’t let you go!” are snatched out. In the historical genre of this time, artists depart from the traditional source of ancient history, turning to the past of the fatherland, trying to recreate its events and images with all authenticity. On the canvas of Vasily Ivanovich Surikov "Morning of the Streltsy Execution" there is no image of the execution of the opponents of Peter's reforms. But the mortal combat of Russia, leaving and renewing, is conveyed with great force. The rich coloring of the picture, the complex, original composition contribute to conveying the author's intention.


The same conflict of the old and the new, as the basis of the family drama, is embodied in the painting by Nikolai Nikolaevich Ge () "Peter I interrogates Tsarevich Alexei Petrovich in Peterhof." There are no external manifestations of this drama here, and the poses of its participants are also calm. Only Peter's look speaks of the depth of the conflict: there is no hatred in him for the son who betrayed him, only bitterness and torment, the consciousness that the work of his life will not be continued by those who should have inherited it. Battle painting of the 6090s closely related to history. Here is the same departure from academic conventions, decorativeness, splendor. V.I. Surikov-batalist ("Suvorov's Crossing the Alps", "The Conquest of Siberia by Yermak") acts as a kind of director of the mise-en-scene, which he builds in strict accordance with the course of hostilities, with historical truth, without sacrificing it for the sake of greater effect. "Peter I interrogates Tsarevich Alexei Petrovich in Peterhof"


Vasily Vasilyevich Vereshchagin () did not formally belong to the Wanderers, but shared their ideological and aesthetic preferences. Under the artist's brush, war appears as an unnatural state for a person. His painting "The Apotheosis of War", depicting a hot desert with a ruined city in the distance and a pyramid of human skulls in the foreground, was perceived as an anti-war symbol. "Apotheosis of War"


Ivan Konstantinovich Aivazovsky () x years. a mature master, recognized as the best marine painter not only in Russia, but also in Europe. He captured the sea element in a very different state from calm to storm (“The Ninth Wave”, “Black Sea”, “Among the Waves”). One of his best paintings is "The Sea". On the canvas there is nothing but the harsh boundless sea and the endless sky. Aivazovsky's "Sea" can be attributed to the most grandiose works of the world landscape. "The Ninth Wave"


The heyday of landscape painting is associated with the work of Isaac Ilyich Levitan (). In the paintings “Autumn Day. Sokolniki", "Evening. Golden reach”, “Quiet abode”, “At the whirlpool”, “Hacks. Twilight ”and the aching music of Russian nature and its special silence are heard. They evoke bright sadness and thoughts about life, in which there is no harmony and beauty inherent in nature. Despite the outward unpretentiousness, Levitan's landscapes are the result of the highest skill and innovation of the artist, who largely foresaw the development of painting in the 20th century. "Gold autumn"


Architecture Rapid growth after the reforms of the 60s. cities, railway networks, industrial enterprises, a sharp increase in the number of banks and joint-stock companies, educational and cultural institutions - all this led to the colossal scope of construction. The architects were confronted with new diverse tasks, which brought to the fore the need for their functional solution corresponding to the type of building. Church of the Resurrection


Opera In the opera genre, the national opera based on plots Russian history. In "The Maid of Pskov" by Rimsky-Korsakov, "Prince Igor" by Borodin, not only folk motifs sound, the people are a participant in the stage musical performance. N. A. Rimsky-Korsakov Alexander Porfiryevich Borodin


Theater In the post-reform era, many private theaters and entreprises arose, but the imperial theaters remained the centers of theatrical culture. They are financed by the government, the best acting forces are drawn here, directing and scenography were staged here at the modern European level. In the theatrical life of the two capitals, the tone was set by the Maly Theater with its stable traditions of stage realism, coming from the great Shchepkin and Mochalov. The Maly Theater was called "Ostrovsky's House": all the plays of the outstanding playwright were replayed here. The acute social problems of his works made it possible to bring to the stage a gallery of Russian social types, to show the life and customs of the urban strata, the complex relations in the post-reform society between its estates. P. M. Sadovsky, G. N. Fedotova, M. N. Ermolova shone on the stage of the Maly Theater. The theater was not limited to realistic art: from the mid-70s. here, as in other theaters in Russia, romanticism, with its pathos and pathos, is increasingly gaining ground.
