ISSN 2308-1333
Abstract
The article is devoted to the history of Sergey Prokofiev’s ballet «Pas d’acier» in USSR (1927–1932). The main conception of the investigation is the large-scale reconstruction of the history of the «Pas d’acier» stage fate in Prokofiev’s motherland. This story mirrors the tendencies and the spirit of time, and it is one of the most brilliant examples of the political about-face on the cusp of the 1920s and 1930s in Soviet cultural life.
