Outline of Final Research Achievements

The culture that Russian emigres outside Russia developed after the Russian Revolution has been regarded as one different genre of the Russian culture from that of the motherland, as in the case of "the Russian emigre literature". On the other hand, the various other genres of art such as ballet were nurtured in other parts of the world than Russia by diverse groups of Russians and even by foreign artists, for example, emigres who left Russia after the Russian Revolution, and those who left Russia before the Revolution, consequently never returning to the homeland, and those who traveled abroad, remaining there for some time. Therefore, those artistic genres cultivated outside Russia are too versatile in the point of the characteristics of artists and their creactions to fit in the traditional category of emigre arts. In this research, we aim to specify the characterictics of the artistic works of Russia abroad in relation to the concept of Russky Mir, namely the Russian World.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

従来から亡命ロシア研究は日本でも盛んに行われてきたが、本研究は亡命者も非帰国者も一時的滞在者も等しく「ルースキイ・ミール」の一員として捉え、反ソヴィエト的な人びとも親ソヴィエト的な人びとも一緒になって作り上げていったその多様な全体像を再構築しようとするもので、日本はもとより国外でも類のない研究と考える。
「ルースキイ・ミール」という近年新たに提唱された概念を過去に応用することは、両大戦間のロシア文化、ヨーロッパ文化を再検討するために有効であるだけでなく、グローバル化のテンポを速める現代世界の理解にも有効だと考えられる。
