Maria Mileeva
I am an art historian working on 20th and 21st -century art and visual culture of Russia, the former Soviet Union, and its transnational entanglements with Africa, the Middle East, Asia and the Americas.
My research can be grouped into the following core areas: a comparative inquiry of leftist internationalists and fellow travellers’ involvement with the Soviet experiment in the interwar period; and the development of networks of socialist internationalism since 1945. The focus on transnational cultural interactions stems from my PhD (The Courtauld, 2011), which looked at the politics of exhibiting international art in the Soviet Union during the 1920s and 1930s. I am currently working on a research project that focuses on the practices of denunciation and self-censorship in socialist realism and its legacies in the former Soviet Republics, Middle East, Asia and Africa.
