Светлост и магле са истока: три међуратна путописа из Совјетске Русије (Винавер, Крлежа, Васић)
Light and Fogs From the East: Three 1920ies Yugoslav Travel Books on Soviet Russia

Summary/Abstract: Starting from the known thesis that Russian Revolution (1917) was a child of the Great War, the author points out possibility that Vanguard literature and arts were source of energy for the great social overturn of the 20th century. On the examples of the three travel books about postrevolutionary Russia, that is Soviet Union: Russian Processions (1924) by Stanislav Vinaver, Trip to Russia (1926) by Miroslav Krleza, and Impressions from Russia (1928) by Dragisa Vasic the paper presents different opinions of Yugoslav artists on the Revolution determined by their respective personal ideological sensibility and by specific political situation in the multinational Balkan Kingdom as well. The ambivalences that the intelligence devoted to the ideas of Yugoslav unity cherished toward the great mother of all Slavs have been attributed to the different ideological standpoints of the postwar writers who in the 30ies were sharply divided mostly according to the respective views on the revolution itself.
