N2 - A detailed reconstruction of the history behind the creation and publication
of I. Sel'vinskij’s Uljalaevščina, a narrative poem about the Russian civil war in
the Urals, following the 1917 revolution. Composed in 1924, Sel'vinskij was
first published in 1927 and then underwent numerous alterations by Sel'vinskij,
to a detrimental effect. The 1920s–1930s saw four publications of the poem
as a separate book; the poem was considered a masterpiece of Sel'vinskij’s
and of contemporary Soviet poetic output in general. However, its subsequent
publications in the 1930s were unofficially vetoed up until the early Thaw
years, when, in 1956, the poem was published again upon radical redrafting
by the author. The scholar makes a meticulous comparison between various
archive versions of Uljalaevščina, comments on textual juxtapositions and
finds that the poem, conceived as a ‘verse novel’ about the Russian civil war
and the Bolshevik pillaging of rural settlements during the food confiscation
campaign (prodrazvyorstka), was intentionally rewritten by Sel'vinskij as an
exemplary Soviet epic, which could not but damage the poem’s quality and
intonation.
