In Beau Monde on Empires Edge, Mayhill C. Fowler delves into the captivating tale of a group of remarkable men who left an indelible mark on both Soviet and Ukrainian cultures. This collective biography offers a fresh perspective on the politics of cultural production within the Soviet Union, particularly through the lens of theater and the diverse borderlands. Unlike their counterparts in Moscow or Leningrad, these artists from the regions have largely been overlooked, despite the exceptional quality of their work. Beau Monde reclaims the periphery's rightful place at the heart of Soviet culture. Extensive sources in Russian, Ukrainian, Polish, and Yiddish shed light on the crucial multiethnic context and the inherent complexities involved in constructing Ukrainian culture amidst Ukrainians, Russians, Poles, and Jews. Beau Monde on Empires Edge meticulously traces the evolving interplay between the arts and the state during the early Soviet era, illuminating the intricate web of politics and culture that continues to shape the region today.
