Abstract
The paper is devoted to the artistic culture phenomenon during the war years in the Krasnoyarsk Territory on the basis of archival, periodical and scientific sources. Due to the synchronistic approach, various forms of artistic culture, art in particular, were studied. The descriptive and comparative methods are used. The article emphasizes music and theatre in their interaction. The scientific novelty of the research lies in the fact that some unpublished archival data are submitted here.
The purpose of the study is to explore the features of organizing musical and theatrical leisure activities of the Krasnoyarsk Territory residents during the Great Patriotic War. The choice of the research subject is justified by the need to understand the historical events that were the result of ideological struggle and political manipulation to satisfy the opportunistic needs of the Soviet state. There is an objective necessity for restoring the historical and cultural events of that time on a regional scale, as this subject has been almost outside the scientific investigations up to the present time.
During the war the regional sociocultural activities were reorganized. Libraries, museums, Houses of Culture became the centres of mass propaganda and educational work. The rear cultural activities included all kinds of arts: theatre, cinema, music, fine arts, and literature. Concert brigades, touring groups of the Russian Folk Choir, evacuated Dnepropetrovsk, Odessa, Voroshilovgrad, Grozny theatres, Irkutsk and Krasnoyarsk musical theatres made a great contribution to organizing leisure time for maintaining moral force in the rear.
Concert brigade was a popular form of organizing musical and theatrical activities. Musical programmes included arias from operas, operettas, as well as songs by Soviet composers. Cultural institutions regularly held art exhibitions, balls-concerts, and masked balls with dancing evenings to the accompaniment of a jazz orchestra. In summer, the Central Park for Culture and Leisure with its venues for orchestras, games and dances, performances of artists and amateur groups became a favourite place for recreation.
Keywords: musical and theatrical activities during the Great Patriotic War, leisure activities in the rear, concert brigade, amateur performances.
