Lesley Chamberlain, "The Arc of Utopia in the anniversary year of Russia 1917". "Suddenly, say 1895–1929, and with that huge upsurge 1905-1922, poetry, painting, philosophy, drama and street art came alive in a way Russia had never seen before; and the style was radically modern and post-bourgeois, in a way that would captivate the more settled West for a century to come."
