The project explores the dimensions of narrated adventure in early Soviet literature (from the 1920s to the 1940s) in terms of literary theory, fiction and cultural politics. In exploring these strands the project takes as its starting point the hypothesis that the analysed artefacts may be regarded as an ‘anatomy lesson‘ of narrated adventure: the material exposes and, indeed, analyses central issues of narrated adventure. The examined period is divided into two stages. The first decade (1920–1930), being dominated by avantgardistic aesthetics, is characterized by a prevalence and popularity of narrated adventure that is unique in the context of European modernism. In the second decade (1930–1940), under the conditions of the formation of Socialist Realism, on the contrary, adventure loses acceptance due to changing issues in cultural politics and seems to disappear. Against this assumption the project aims to show in which forms, that have so far been unconsidered, narrated adventure is persisting as well as participating in the formation of Socialist Realism. In proving such persistence and participation, the project aims to contribute to a modified view on the period of transformation from early Soviet style into Stalinistic monumentalism. Thus, the project is based on the working thesis that adventure participates in the formation of the new socialist type of human being, and, likewise, seems to persist in films showing “adventure-expeditions” that explore the new Soviet reality and test ways of depicting it. Finally, narrated adventure seems to provide fundamental structures in early Socialist Realist hybrid genres such as collective books or documentary novels.

该项目探讨了早期苏联文学（从20世纪20年代到40年代）在文学理论，小说和文化政治方面的叙事冒险的维度。在探索这些线索的过程中，该项目以一个假设为出发点，即所分析的人工制品可以被视为叙事冒险的“解剖课”：这些材料揭示并分析了叙事冒险的核心问题。审查期间分为两个阶段。第一个十年（1920-1930），由前卫美学占主导地位，其特点是叙事冒险的流行和普及，这是在欧洲现代主义的背景下独特的。在第二个十年（1930-1940年），在社会主义现实主义形成的条件下，相反，由于文化政治问题的变化，冒险失去了接受，似乎消失了。针对这一假设，该项目旨在表明，在哪些形式，迄今尚未考虑，叙述冒险是坚持以及参与社会主义现实主义的形成。在证明这种坚持和参与的过程中，该项目旨在对从早期苏联风格转变为斯大林主义纪念碑的时期做出修改。因此，该项目基于这样一个工作命题，即冒险参与了新型社会主义人类的形成，并且，同样地，似乎坚持在电影中展示“冒险-探险”，探索新的苏联现实，并测试描绘它的方式。最后，叙事冒险似乎为早期社会主义现实主义混合流派，如集体书籍或纪实小说提供了基本结构。
