Abstract:

The purpose of the article is to continue the study of poetic texts in the satirical leaflet “Blokha” (“Flea”), which was published in 1920–1921 in Vladivostok. We also consider publications that appeared in other periodicals published at the same time, such as “Golos Rodiny” (“Voice of the Motherland”), “Vladivo-Nippo”, where the leaflet “Blokha” was mentioned, often in a satirical manner. We analyze poetic feuilletons, which often ridiculed political events and the activities of the Literary and Artistic Society, prominent poets of the Far East, including N. Aseev, D. Burlyuk and S. Tretyakov, who were in the Far Eastern Republic at that time. The article explores the use of techniques characteristic of futuristic poetry in poetic feuilletons. We analyze in detail the rhythmic component of the texts, note the originality of rhymes and the use of neologisms. We note that on the pages of the leaflet “Blokha” (“Flea”) many authors were published under pseudonyms, and therefore publications with real names became noticeable. Examples of several texts are given where the use of real names in signatures takes on satirical character. Thus, the magazine “Blokha” (“Flea”) and the authors publishing feuilletons played a significant role in the literary life of Vladivostok in 1920–1921.

Keywords: satirical journalism, satirical leaflet, Blokha, Vladivostok, futurism, satirical magazine, Far Eastern periodicals of the early 1920s, Literary and Artistic Society, S. Tretyakov, N. Aseev, D. Burliuk
