Anarchy and Theatre, Theatre and Anarchy: G.S. Khodes, E.P. Garin, and I.A. Charin’s engagements with the anarchist movement during the Russian Revolution (1917-1921) and its aftermath
Abstract
The February Revolution overthrew the three-hundred-year monarchy of the Romanovs and stirred societal activity in Russia. Political and social movements, as well as professional and national-cultural unions, began to grow both quantitatively and qualitatively. Workers’, peasants’, and soldiers’ councils were organized across the country. These large-scale changes affected all areas of life, including the arts, literature, and the entire cultural sphere.
