{"product_id":"the-mitki-and-the-art-alexandar-mihailovic-9780299314903","title":"The Mitki and the Art of Postmodern Protest in Russia","description":"During the late Soviet period, the art collective known as the Mitki emerged in Leningrad. Producing satirical poetry and prose, pop music, cinema, and conceptual performance art, this group fashioned a playful, emphatically countercultural identity with affinities to European avant-garde and American hippie movements. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eMore broadly, Alexandar Mihailovic shows, the Mitki pioneered a form of political protest art that has since become a centerpiece of activism in post-Soviet Russia, most visibly today in groups such as Pussy Riot. He draws on extensive interviews with members of the collective and illuminates their critique of the authoritarian state, militarism, and social strictures from the Brezhnev years to the present.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Alexandar Mihailovic\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0299314901\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780299314903\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Wisconsin Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/27\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 272\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.10lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.10w x 0.80d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/01\/2018","brand":"Alexandar Mihailovic","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48621663912191,"sku":"9780299314903","price":79.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_46fcc8ad-ec3d-4baf-b57b-214681a56517.jpg?v=1780426391","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-mitki-and-the-art-alexandar-mihailovic-9780299314903","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
