In January 1829, an angry mob in Tehran murdered Russian poet and
diplomat Alexander Griboedov, author of the verse comedy Woe from
Wit and architect of the Russian annexation of the north Caucasus
from Persia after the Russo-Persian War. A century later, the
Russian formalist writer Yury Tynianov wrote a historical novel
about the event entitled The Death of Vazir-Mukhtar. In this
wide-ranging study, Anna Aydinyan posits that The Death of
Vazir-Mukhtar conceptualizes Orientalism fifty years before Edward
Said coined the term. She argues that Tynianov parodied historical
works on the Caucasus in his novel in order to critique the ways in
which exoticizing the East enabled imperialism and colonization.
Analysing literary and non-literary texts on Russia's relationship
with Iran, along with the economic and cultural development of
Transcaucasia after the Russo-Persian War, Formalists against
Imperialism studies Russian culture within the framework of
comparative colonialisms and examines the twentieth-century Russian
reconsideration of the country's imperial past.
