Project title: From stage to screen to society: KVN and the transformation of Soviet youth entertainment in the 1960s
Research:
My project examines spectatorship and audience engagement in Soviet entertainment television during the 1960s, focusing on the show Klub veselykh i nakodchivykh [Club for merry and quick-witted]. My research, titled From stage to screen to society: KVN and the transformation of Soviet youth entertainment in the 1960s, analyses how institutional conditions and creative practices enabled KVN's evolution from an experimental television format to a participatory cultural phenomenon. Before my doctoral studies, I completed my Bakalavr and Magistr programs in Philosophy at Ural Federal University and an MA in Sociology at the Moscow School of Social and Economic Sciences (Shaninka). Outside academia, I worked as a curator, responsible for the exhibition series 鈥機enter of Thaw Research鈥� at Voznesensky Center (Moscow, Russia) and co-devised public programming for the Ural Industrial Biennial of Contemporary Art (Yekaterinburg, Russia).
