On June 12, 1991, the city’s name reverted to Saint Petersburg by a referendum held simultaneously with the first presidential elections of the Russia Federation. 545 Mitki (Russian: Митьки́) is an art collective formed by artist Dmitry Shagin (born 1957) in 1984 in Leningrad. 545 Arkadii Trofimovich Dragomoshchenko (1942-2012) was a Russian poet, writer, translator, and lecturer. He was a member of Club-81, an independent association of Leningrad writers and artists. 545 Language poetry is an avant-garde poetry movement that emerged in the late 1960’s and early 1970’s in the United States. Rather than emphasizing traditional poetic techniques, Language poetry tends to draw the reader’s attention to the uses of language in a poem that contribute to the creation of meaning. Language poetry is often associated with deconstruction, poststructuralism, and the Objectivist tradition. 520 Inkjet prints created circa 2021 of 150 photographic images by Viktor Nemtinov that document the subculture and protests in Leningrad/Saint Petersburg, Soviet Union/Russia, from approximately 1984 to 1991.
