It shows how early Soviet-era authors, from well-known names including Fedor Gladkov, Mikhail Bulgakov, Andrei Platonov and Evgenii Zamiatin, to niche figures such as Sigizmund Krzhizhanovskii and Aleksandr Beliaev, exploited traditional archetypes of this genre: the haunted castle, the deformed body, vampires, villains, madness and unnatural death. Complementing recent studies of Soviet culture by Eric Naiman and Lilya Kaganovsky, this book argues that Gothic-fantastic tropes functioned variously as a response to the traumas produced by revolution and civil war, as a vehicle for propaganda, and as a subtle mode of unwriting the cultural monolith of Socialist Realism.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Peter Lang","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48848003662059,"sku":"00000_00000_00000_00000","price":151.89,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0758\/4484\/5803\/files\/9781803742205-1.jpg?v=1781705391","url":"https:\/\/kinokuniya.com.sg\/products\/9781803742205","provider":"Books Kinokuniya Singapore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
