Mark D. Steinberg explores the work of individuals he recognizes as
utopians during the most dramatic period in Russian and Soviet
history. It has long been a cliche to argue that Russian
revolutionary movements have been inspired by varieties of 'utopian
dreaming' - claims which, although not wrong, are too often used
uncritically. For the first time, Russian Utopian digs deeper and
asks what utopians meant at the level of ideas, emotions, and lived
experience. Despite the fact that many would have resisted the
'utopian' label at the time because of its dismissive meanings,
Steinberg's comprehensive approach sees him take in political
leaders, intellectuals, writers, and artists (visual, material, and
musical), as well as workers, peasants, soldiers, students and
others. Ideologically, the figures discussed range from
reactionaries to anarchists, nationalists (including non-Russians)
to feminists, both religious believers and 'the militant godless'.
This innovative text dissects the very notion of the Russian
utopian and examines its significance in its various fascinating
contexts.
