Leagues Of Laughter War Comedy And The Soviet Legacy In Russia And Ukraine (A. Austin Garey)

English | 2025 | ISBN: 1800088795 | 232 Pages | True PDF | 2.6 MB 978-1800088801

Catergory: Censorship & Politics, Comedy, Cultural Anthropology

An exploration of how comedy has shaped civil society-and become a form of subtle political resistance-in post-Soviet Russia and Ukraine.

Leagues of Laughter traces the evolution of a Soviet-created youth game called KVN (Klub veselykh i nakhodchivykh or Club of the Cheerful and Clever) over sixty years as students’ nation-states collapsed, competed, and eventually went to war. Through cross-border narratives, the book shows how humor persists-and transforms-amid authoritarianism, censorship, and conflict. With insight and compassion, author A. Austin Garey reveals how laughter became a mode of resistance, identity, and cultural continuity in the long cultural context of the war in Ukraine. In addition to introducing a novel theory of "tradition as stance" to explain how traditions are reproduced and reinterpreted over time, the book offers a compelling comparative analysis of cultural production under political pressure.
