1920R5163Peterburg: Gosudarstvennoe izdatel'stvo State Publishers 1920. Fourth edition. Hardcover. Fine. Later black cloth preserving the original illustrated wraps; pp. 156 with illustrations by Vidberg. "Within the discursive world created by the Soviet mass spectacles the event announces itself as new by virtue of its shift from the individual to the mass and the instigation of a collective subject as both the subject and object of the drama. In this way it distinguishes itself from the old 'pre-modern' society. More specifically it took the pre-revolutionary Symbolist utopias of 'ritual theatre' whose formulation was largely a response to the abortive 1905 revolution and recast their 'people' as the proletariat" Kleberg 1980 44-64. Platon Kerzhentsev's THE CREATIVE THEATRE was the most influential formulation in this direction -- his book was in its fourth edition by 1920. The October revolution had he claimed provided the social base for the realization of the ritual community valorized by the Symbolists; by the time of the fourth edition he was able to claim that "much of what seemed a utopia two years ago now appears to be on the way to becoming reality" Kleberg 1980 62. "This claim was based on the explosion of mass spectacles that had occurred in the intervening years" Smith "Meyerhold Mass Theatre and Fascism". The theory for Soviet mass spectacles. <br/><br/> Gosudarstvennoe izdatel'stvo [State Publishers] hardcover books

Around 1958 Ukrainian emigres in the US came up with the idea of building a memorial to "Ukraine's Favorite Son" author Taras Shevchenko as a way of making a statement about their community and of the situation in their homeland. The campaign gained momentum and in 1960 Congress passed a bill which allocated land in Washington DC for the Ukrainians to build a statue. Platon Stasiuk a prominent Ukrainian-American businessman and treasurer of the Shevchenko Memorial Committee went to Ukraine in 1961 intent on taking back a container of soil from Shevchenko's grave to be placed under the monument in Washington. Expecting an appreciative committee he was instead met with rejection as his bringing the soil was viewed as a Soviet ploy. Disappointed Stasiuk published a book describing his experience and the Soviet media denounced the dismissal as hostility towards a friendly gesture. Stasiuk returned the soil to Ukraine and wrote a second account the current one in which he included numerous letters of support he had received for his initiative. By the Author paperback books
