Wartime Intimacy: Zoya Kosmodemianskaya and the Chto Delat School for Engaged Art

P. 227–246.

Platt J.

Jonathan Brooks Platt’s chapter discusses the Chto Delat School for Engaged Art as an alternative institution in contemporary Russia, founded on practices of intimacy and a community of shared exposure. The model of the school is challenged by the performance, Becoming Zoya (2014), initiated by Natalia Pershina-Yakimanskay (Gluklya), which asked the students to measure themselves against a famous Soviet militant and consider the meaning of the Russian podvig (heroic exploit).
