ARTISTIC AND JOURNALISTIC ASPECTS
The paper focuses on the phenomenon of the student collection at different historical and cultural
stages of its development. Siberian student collections of the 19th – 20th centuries are shown
in the context of samizdat and the formation of the almanac as a genre. Unlike almanacs, student
collections are complex by nature, because, in addition to literary works, they published a lot of
sociocultural essays, due to which the author can employ a comprehensive research method
to simultaneously address aesthetic, journalistic and sociocultural content. The author describes
the general typology of publications as well as specificity of the structure, content, author's and
reader's corps of the genre under analysis at various stages of the development of literature
and book publishing of Siberia. It is shown that the first Siberian student collections appeared in
the early 19th century to reach the peak in the early 20th century. Their development eventually
lead to the modification of the almanac-type collections and formation of a wider readership
among students of the university, gymnasiums, secondary, vocational and workers’ schools and
teaching staff. The specificity of this type of edition is determined by its documentary basis with
an artistic component and original author's body. The epoch of the forming Socialist realism
in the late 1920s and early 1930s, also known as the period of the «first five-year plans» or «the
great breakthrough» is connected with the domination of RAPP (The Russian Association of Proletarian
Writers) with its regional branches, which led to mass-literature with a greater enrolment
of the working class. The almanac of this time represented, in fact, a certain extra-literary normative
type of edition commissioned by the state. It has been proved that the change in historical
and cultural paradigms, especially during the revolutionary upheavals and the pre-war period,
caused an increasing substitution of literary materials with journalistic essays of extremely sociological nature. Nevertheless, according to the hypothesis put forward in this paper, the format
of the student collection becomes relevant for further development of the genre. It will actively
develop during the «Thaw», which will bring about the formation of new poetic studios and
friendly literary circles among Siberian students and reveal a qualitatively different approach
to literary reality and new behavioural models of the author- and readership.
