	Yurodivy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The yurodivy (accented on the second syllable, юро́дивый) is the Russian version of the holy fool.
		The yurodivy is traditionally an eccentric figure who is outside conventional society.
		He (or she) is believed to be divinely inspired, and is therefore able to say truths which others cannot, normally in the form of indirect allusions or parables.

	Shostakovich the Great
		The yurodivy is an anarchist and individualist, who in his public role breaks the commonly held ‘moral’ laws of behaviour and flouts conventions.
		In the framework of Russian culture the extraordinary relationship between Stalin and Shostakovich was profoundly traditional: the ambivalent ‘dialogue’ between tsar and yurodivy, and between tsar and poet playing the role of yurodivy in order to survive, takes on a tragic incandescence.
		However, Shostakovich was wise to this and tried to work within the framework as the yurodivy to reveal the State for what it really was, however, this was not always successful as the powers that be were sometimes too great.

		The yurodivy had the ability to see and hear things that others could not, and thus gives this insight to the people, but does so in code.

		Savishna's Dance is a one-movement work conceived as being in the spirit of the yurodivy rather than having any direct link to Mussorgsky or his art song.

		The feast - day of Pokrov, unknown to the Greek church, was introduced in Vladimir - Suzdalian Russia as early as the twelfth century to commemorate the miraculous apparition of the Virgin to the Blessed Andrey Yurodivy (near 936) and his pupil Epiphanius.
		It is described in the Life of St. Andrey how he saw the Virgin enter the main door of the Church of Blachernae and approach the altar where she began to pray for the people.
		Below, on both sides of the royal doors, stand Andrey Yurodivy (in a hair - shirt), St. Epiphanius, St. George and St. Demetrius of Thessalonica (on the right) and St. John the Forerunner with the apostles (on the left).

		From the social point of view, a yurodivy was outside the society and was not afraid to act and say what nobody else would have dared to openly, with the possible exception of thieves and robbers (the latter dared do it in their lairs or on the executioner’s block).
		The holy fear the commoners (and not only they) had of the yurodivys went hand in hand with their veneration and love for the yurodivys: in the Russians’ fantasies their secret love was freedom that, to judge by the surviving folklore, evolved into robbery and anarchy.
		Interpreting the yurodivy nature of the Impostor in a broader sense, one can say that in the course of the 17th and 18th centuries yurodivyism prevailed over the religious formalism that for centuries had served as the ideological foundation of Russian tsarism and imperialism.

		The Russian religious phenomenon of the yurodivye is very important in understanding Shostakovich as a composer during Stalin’s reign of terror.
		Although most yurodivy communications were historically passive and were treated with little fanfare, Shostakovich’s yurodivy communications came at a time when even the most naïve references to a controversial matter could lead to disappearance.

		I suppose that such a paradoxical emotional dissonance exists in every society and in every human being, but somehow when the Russians express joy or melancholy, the emotions seem higher and deeper than they do in the rest of us.
		And there is also a third Russian characteristic - that of the yurodivy - which has been permitted to and employed by Russian artists from the 15th century on.
		The yurodivy is a kind of "holy fool" - the person who sees what's really going on in society and has the audacity to say it, but only in a kind of code.

		"Mussorgsky and Shostakovich: The New yurodivy," Aeja Killworth, Peabody Conservatory
		In his controversial book Testimony (1979), Solomon Volkov raises an interesting theory for the Soviet composer's survival by stating, "Whether consciously or not, Shostakovich became the second (Mussorgsky was the first) great yurodivy composer." The full name yurodivy Khrista radi literally means "fools for the sake of Christ," or Holy Fools.
		Holding a significant albeit peculiar position in early Russian society, the yurodivy were believed to possess supernatural and mysterious powers, able to see and hear what others could not.

		In a press conference after Klebnikov's death, his brother Peter said: "As long as resolving disputes or removing someone who stands in the way by murder is considered normal, the country is sick." A swift, impartial investigation would be strong medicine.
		Without it, the only people who will dare speak up in future will be yurodivy.

	Music under Soviet rule: Shostakovich and Bulgakov
		First, it provides clues to the state of mind - referred to by Solomon Volkov in Testimony as that of the yurodivy - in which he seems often to have approached his work.
		Second, it shows that, even in the '20s when writing pieces as ostensibly 'Red' as the Second and Third symphonies, he is extremely unlikely to have been a Communist.
		The 'new ending' accordingly consisted of playing the Internationale off-stage as guns fired a salute to the Bolsheviks - a yurodivy solution as deliberately crass as Shostakovich's finale to his Fifth Symphony and Prokofiev's enforced revision of the last pages of his Seventh.

		Apart from some explicit New Testament analogies and allusions (Myshkin gathers children round him; he is kind to a sinning woman; seeing an ass rouses him from his despondency), what seems most influential in shaping Dostoyevsky’s image of Myshkin are two striking figures.
		One is the ‘yurodivy’, the wandering beggar-pilgrim familiar in old Russia, whose physical and mental disabilities are signatures of holiness.
		Rogozhin indeed says to Myshkin, 'You are quite a yurodivy; and God loves such as you.'

		So to go "beyond the mind" (paranoia) would be to go back to the Father himself.
		Another great resource is the Russian tradition of the "yurodivy" or "Holy Fool" who is essentially a figure struck by madness, and who is seen as being close to God for it, and is allowed to exist outside the rules which everyone else in the society is bound by.
