Der Feuervogel als Kunstzeitschrift. Žar ptica. Russische Bildwelten in Berlin (1921-1926) = Russia on Display: Zhar Ptitsa – The Firebird as an Illustrated Review in Berlin, 1921-26

This book is the result of extensive research supported by two British Academy Senior Research Fellowships. The book deals with the rise of the art journal The Firebird. It is an original account of a journalistic endeavour that represented an international Russian culture in Berlin. For a short time in the early 1920s Berlin was the scene of a division of labour between Bolshevik elites and emigrated Russians, within their common publishing space outside Russia. The analysis challenges the supposed boundaries between Russian Emigration and the Soviet Union that were publicly maintained by both the declared emigrants and Soviet agents.
