- Abstract
The article analyzes the trends of the art culture of the “ottepel” (the “thaw”) period (middle 1950s – late 1960s) through the prism of the relation between social traditions and traditionalism discourse. The subject of the analysis is the creative work of the liberal wing of the intelligentsia (“shestidesiatniki” / the sixtiers / the thaw writers) and their attitude towards the socialist project. The hypothesis of the research is the following: reproduction of the Soviet project in the situation of inactivity of the social tradition mechanism is based on the traditionalist discourse which was expressed in the “loyalty to fathers”, “linkage of generations”, “responsibility” rhetoric. The traditionalist discourse was supposed to hide the trauma that resulted from the inability to embody continuity at the level of social relay in the new socio-cultural conditions. At the artistic techniques level we can observe the attitude toward the search for the “zone of great senses”, imitation of the socialist project reloading at a new level
