Topic: Magnitizdat


  
  Map Zones : Russia Map   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
The restraints of the 1970s and 1980s stimulated a musical underground, called magnitizdat, which recorded and distributed forbidden folk, rock, and jazz works in small batches.
Rock music was controlled strictly by Soviet authorities, with only limited recording outside magnitizdat, although Russia's youth were fascinated with the rock groups of the West.
In the 1990s, much of Russia's rock music lost the innovative and satirical edge of the magnitizdat period, and experts noted a tendency to simply imitate Western groups.

 Vladimir Vysotsky
Soviet officialdom permitted few of his songs to be sung on television or in films or to be recorded.
His lyrical fame spread from appearances in clubs, factories, and universities and through the mass distribution of homemade (and illegal) tape recordings (magnitizdat) and publications (samizdat).
He sang of such themes as Soviet prison life ("Only the final judgment could be worse"), Soviet official hypocrisy ("I grieve that honour has been put to rout, that backbiting has been deified"), and generally about ordinary Russian daily life (crowded living quarters, long food lines, unfair privileges of the elite).

 391 - A History
With the rise of "industrial" artists like Throbbing Gristle and their hordes of imitators, 391 took the first of several direction changes, recruiting Hocknell's colleague, photographer Sharon Petche, and electronics enthusiast/tape collector Theo Maxwell.
They left one track, Brains Under Glass, on the Deleted compilation tape Magnitizdat as their first epitaph.
Next followed an unsettled period in which Mark was not directly involved (being busy with The Instant Automatons and Alien Brains).

These sessions will analyse representations of the gulag theme that were published during the Thaw, focusing on the evolution from works that broke the taboo on public discussion of the camp experience (early 1960s) to those that observed (increasingly restrictive) ideological constraints (mid-1960s).
These sessions will discuss works from the mid- to late 1960s that were not approved for publication in the USSR, but that circulated in various unofficial forms (samizdat, magnitizdat) or were published abroad (tamizdat).
The effects of such unofficial or underground circulation on the authors will also be considered.

No, we needed a vaguely self-mocking name like some of our contemporaries; The Desperate Bicycles, The Thin Yoghurts, Tone Deaf and The Idiots...well, you get the idea.
The trouble was, we couldn't think of one, although some of those that were considered and rejected turned up later on the pseudo-compilation cassette Magnitizdat - The Least Worst Of Deleted Records.
In a fit of desperation we wrote various words on bits of paper and put them in a hat.

This song was forbidden from being recorded professionally, it was circulated among the thousands of tapes known as “magnitizdat”.
It was clear to the government that songs like these, with witty references to the government, the state of the country, and its leaders was dangerous - and made it a goal to hide these from the public.

Compare and contrast the art of the Wanderers and official Socialist Realist Art.
Remember that you have a fair discussion of the nature of Socialist Realism in your "magnitizdat" readings -- more exactly, in the section on "mass song."

The situation is only slightly better when it comes to control over communications networks.
It is true that dissidents have to some degree been able to broadcast ideas that challenge existing authority by illicitly publishing a body of critical literature (samizdat) and recording a series of critical songs (magnitizdat).
Nonetheless, such sources of radical ideas enjoy only a precarious existence – as is evidenced by the secret police crackdown on the samizdat publication, Chronicle of Current Events, in 1972-3
