The information presented here relates primarily to events connected with the IMRC during the spring and summer of 2018. For the benefit of new readers, data on the present structure of the IMRC are given on the last page of this issue. IMRC Newsletters for 1979-2018 are available electronically and can be requested via e-mail at slavic@usc.edu. All IMRC newsletters are available on University of Cincinnatii's institutional repository, Scholar@UC (https://scholar.uc.edu). RUSSIA: Оurs is the Victory One of the most prominent leit-motifs in everyday Moscow life is the word, concept, and metaphor of “victory” (pobeda) and its analogy “triumph”. Of course, Moscow has engineered many conquests, from the rout of Napoleon in 1812 to the rout of Hitler in 1943, but, even so, the persistence and application of “victory” is so striking that its continued omnipresence might well inspire the following scenario: After arriving on Victory Airlines on 9 May (Victory Day), I checked into the Hotel Victory not far from the Victory of Taste Supermarket adjacent to Triumphal Street downtown. Taking a Victory ‘Bus to the nearby Victory Café, I ordered a Victory Salad and a slice of Victory Cake out of their Victory refrigerator. I then headed to Victory Park on Victory Prospect to work out at the Victory Fitness Club on Victory Square where I picked up my vintage Victory auto (which I had bought years ago from one of the Victory Secondhand Stores). Of course, I could have rented a Victory bicycle on Victory Street, but had to attend meetings at the Triumph Gallery and the Victory Photograph Gallery. That evening I had a drink at the Victory Beer Bar, dinner at the Victory Restaurant, and went to the Victory Movie-Theater near Victory Boulevard to see the 1984 Soviet film Victory. Triumphant, I hit the sack in my Victory bed to return home next morning on my Victory flight. 2 THE HOME FRONT It is expected that the IMRC website will be rebuilt during 2019.

A veteran art historian and for many years senior curator at the State Tretiakov Gallery in Moscow, Lidiia Ivanovna will long be remembered for her dedication to the cause of Russian art, especially for her research and publications on the art of 19th century Russian Realism. Treating of contemporary Russian art (exhibitions, interviews, auctions, collections, commentaries), the third issue of the on-line magazine, Russian Art Focus, appeared last month. For details go to newsletter@russianartfocus.com Dr. Waltraud M. Bayer (waltraud.bayer@aon.at) announces a new research project on “Russian ‘Oligarch’ Art Museums and Foundations: Private art museums and foundations are on the rise – worldwide. Since the 1990s, their number and impact on global art and (public) museums have dramatically increased. In the Russian Federation, however, this development lagged behind. Only after the millennium, in the wake of the privatization of the economy, did Russia’s newly formed economic elite follow suit. The last decade witnessed a sharp increase in ‘oligarch’ art philanthropy, foundations and museums – covering a broad range of genres: from contemporary to religious art, from Modernism to the avant-garde, from Socialist Realism to the Soviet Severe Style, from the Imperial Russian heritage to ethnic or foreign legacies. Some philanthropists have launched museum or institutional initiatives; others are investing in urban gentrification projects for mixed commercial-cultural use; still others are funding museum projects, awards or donations. A characteristic feature of this new Russian philanthropy is the growing involvement abroad: Russia’s tycoons finance biennials, they co-operate with leading foreign institutions and private foundations. Some are buying up auction houses and taking over prestigious publishing networks in the West. Their contribution to the (inter-)national museum world is of increasing relevance, notably in view of the recent political transformation within Russia and its foreign political isolation. Contrary to the rising influence of Russian private art museums and foundations, international research has so far neglected this subject. The proposed project aims to fill this gap. It will be based on representative case studies and rare empirical data, drawn from (mainly) Russian primary and secondary source material. It will rely on a broad comparative theoretical framework, elaborated largely by contemporary museum studies as well as by cultural sociology and digital studies. The results will be discussed in academic exchange and published. The Malevich Society is pleased to announce its call for 2019 grant applications. The Malevich Society is a not-for-profit organization based in New York dedicated to advancing knowledge about the Russian artist Kazimir Malevich and his work. In the belief that Malevich was a pioneer of modern art who should be recognized for his key contributions to the history of Modernism, the Society awards grants to encourage research, writing, and other activities relating to his 25 history and memory. The Society welcomes applications from scholars of any nationality and at various stages of their career. Graduate students are welcome to apply to the Society’s grants after completing at least one year of dissertation research. Proposed projects should increase the understanding of Malevich and his work, or augment historical, biographical, or artistic information about Malevich and/or his artistic legacy. The Society also supports translations and the publication of relevant texts. Application forms and instructions may be requested by e-mail: info@malevichsociety.org; or may be downloaded from the website: www.malevichsociety.org. Applications and all supporting documents should be submitted via e-mail to applications@malevichsociety.org. Equiries to: Lauren Warner, Administrator, The Malevich Society: info@malevichsociety.org; tel: +1 646 580 8936; fax: +1 646 304 8448 The Publishing-House of the European University in St. Petersburg, is publishing a sequence of books concerned with the Russian avant-garde, including reprints of Vasilii Kamensky’s Futurist poems such as Sten’ka Razin. For information contact eupress.ru Günter Berghaus announces that the Futurist yearbook for 2019 will be devoted to Russian Futurism and will be edited by Gabriella Elina Imposti, Oleh S. Ilnytzkyj, and Jason Strudler. The editors welcome offers of contributions.
