With dazzling erudition, Skakov shatters the spatial and temporal coordinates of Soviet modernism through its little-known encounters with Central Asia and Stalinist “national form”—encounters that enabled sustained artistic experimentation even amid the turn to socialist realism. The result is a transformative view of both the avant-garde’s fascination with the other and the early Soviet Union’s decolonizing claims. -- Steven S. Lee, author of <i>The Ethnic Avant-Garde: Minority Cultures and World Revolution</i>
