| Research Abstract |
My presentation at the annual meeting of the Japan Association for the Study of Russian Language and Literature, "The Representations of the Post-War Kolkhoz in Ivan Pyr'ev's Kuban Cossacks," focused on the representations of fieldwork in Pyr'ev's 1949 film. While his former films express Soviet ideology by depicting struggles in everyday work, Kuban Cossacks is characterized by amusing elements at the fair, with fieldwork undertaken in a symbolized manner, thus suggesting the realization of a utopian society.
My paper "The Figure of Ivan the Terrible in an Unrealized Project of I. Pyr'ev" analyzes archival materials kept in the RGALI on Pyr'ev's little-known scenario of the Tzar. This paper shows Pyr'ev's aim in his plan to depict a new hero who was more suited, in contrast to S. Eisenstein's hero, to the norms of Soviet culture.
