In the articles that Nikolay Klyuev publishes in 1919 in Zvezda Vytegry, he develops his own conception of what revolutionary culture should be, offering an interesting insight on the cultural process after 1917. Not only does Klyuev’s take on culture indicate a multitude of opposing voices on the subject, it also allows us to grasp the most important concerns of the intellectual crowd during the Civil war: the people must be educated and a new form of art must be born. But Klyuev’s utopia stems from the idea that “authentic” popular culture has been preserved, all along, deep inside the peasantry that ignores, for the most part, the treasure it holds. Klyuev aims both to educate and artistically inspire, and uses, for these purposes, various techniques that he partly shares with the Bolshevik propaganda in order to make live the ultimate peasant utopia on the stage of the “revolutionary theatre”, one that Klyuev – both as a poet and a revolutionary – is an actor as well as the director of.
