Abstract:
The issue of daily life is revealed in the course of text analysis
of the motives and images of artistic and "semi-artistic" works of the
Russian press in interwar Chisinau. The culture of this period is a
rather complex, contradictory and under searched phenomenon. Due
to its historical distance, under the conditions of dramatic changes of
values, many realities and meanings of everyday culture, reflected
only in the scientific historical repertoire, inevitably disappear from a
modern man‟s perception. Therefore, the artistic and artistic journalistic materials from the periodicals (newspapers, magazines)
of that time are so valuable: Essays, satires, feuilletons about
"current affairs" etc. - all these texts represent the diverse sides of
the Chisinau daily life in the 1920s. In the interwar period only in
Chisinau and Bucharest (at different times and at different intervals) about 40 newspapers and
magazines in Russian were released. They used to publish artistic and artistic-journalistic works,
including those by Russian emigre writers. A.M. Fedorov, M.A. Aldanov, K.D. Balmont, I. A.
Bunin, B. Zaitsev, A. Averchenko, I. Lukash, I. Severyanin, Teffi, A. Cherny, I. Shmelev, A.
Bartenev, A. Yablonovsky and S. Yablonovsky, M. K. Pervukhin, V. I. Nemirovich-Danchenko
and many others regularly published their works in the local newspapers. In their "feuilletons"
(which also include almost all genres of small prose) we can find the plots reflecting the moral
and moral norms of Chisinau society - that is, its ethical components. Close correlation of the
literature with the real everyday history, presented in Russian periodicals, gives them
documentary authenticity.
Crucial transformations in the traditional system of humanitarian knowledge that have
occurred since the beginning of the 21st centuries stimulated interest in the culturological
methods of considering the phenomenon of "everyday life" and switching the attention of
humanitarians to; objects that were considered to be marginal: personal life, the world of
"everyday routine" - everyday life. With this in view, the actualization of the culturological potential of the Russian press as a "keeper" of certain images and impressions of urban culture
(Chisinau), as an ethical and emotional component of the national heritage, is not only a
prospective way of the recognition of everyday life, but also an effective strategy of self-cognition.
Man, information, communication, creativity, heritage are the fundamental bases of culture, that
form sophisticated structures of everyday life as information communication system, condition
and support, in its turn, and the variety of representative texts.
