This bi-lingual publication presents a remarkable display of documentary and artistic materials dating from Russia’s engagement on the Eastern and Southern Fronts. The title references a volume of Futurist poetry and thus identifies the book strongly with modernist artistic trends in Russia. The objects illustrated and discussed nevertheless range from lubki and satirical prints to posters, personal photograph albums and books by avant-garde artists and writers, and thus relate to the broad currents in art and society converging on this unprecedented crisis for Russia and her allies.
