A Generation Lost in the Workshop of Future

Abstract

The Soviet Union has not died yet, though it is dying a very slow and painful death. The main reason for his dying is not economical or even political. It rather stands from the blatant contradiction between the Russian traditionalism and the Bolshevik avant-gardism. That has prevented the Soviet project from overcoming its fragmentary condition. While dying the Soviet Union produced a hole lost generation, desperately trying to mediate between the past and the future.
