Социално действие и анти-естетически ефект (върху програмата на руското литературно-революционно обединение Леф)

The article provides a commentary on some key positions from the project of the literary movement LEF (the Left Front of Art) with main representatives Brik, Mayakovsky, Tretyakov, Chuzjak, etc. This group formed in the center of the dynamic processes and debates during the 1920s in Russia, developed after the social and political changes initiated in 1917, and is considered a proponent of an "avant-garde" literary project. Its views are concentrated on the idea of literature as a vehicle of social action, retaining and safeguarding the continuous becoming of the Revolution and the related idea of selfdecomposition of literature under the pressure of the processes in the social sphere. Central place within this framework occupies the concept of "literature of the fact", developed by Osip Brik. According to the members of LEF, the situation after the Revolution demands informativeness; a demand, which literature with its characteristic nature of deformation and displacement ("sdvig") of reality cannot satisfy. This provides for the specific genre transformations, described and argued for in the various theoretical and critical writings of LEF. In this respect the lyrical genre, the central sphere of their creative practice, is compelled to engage itself in performing practical, communicative functions - a view that underlies the concept of the "lyrical feuilleton", developed by the poet Nikolay Aseev.
