Abstract (en)

Discusses the history of the avant-garde in Eastern Europe since 1945 in relation to its socio-political context, emphasizing the close links between the avant-garde, the struggle for freedom, and the resistance to Communist tyranny and ideology. Contrasts avant-gardism in Russia, Latvia, and the other Baltic States, and highlights the effect of Gorbachev's policies of glasnost and perestroika on avant-garde art in the 1980s.
