This book explores a new character archetype that permeated Soviet film during what became known as the era of Stagnation, a stark period of loneliness, disappointment, and individual despair.

With interdisciplinary analysis of literature, painting, and film, Faster, Higher, Stronger, Comrades! traces how physical fitness had an even broader impact on culture and ideology in the Soviet Union than previously realized.

Presents an examination of the images and concepts of speed that permeated Russian modernist poetry, visual arts, and cinema. This title illustrates how a wide variety of experimental artistic tendencies of the day relied on notions of speed or dynamism to create at least part of their effects.
