{"product_id":"berlin-khaltura-1922","title":"BERLIN KHALTURA 1922","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe sixth volume of the \"bie bao\" series revolves around Ilya Zdanevich’s account of his visit to Berlin at the end of 1922. The report offers a scathing takedown of Russian writers whom he accuses of commodifying and watering down the avant-garde discoveries. Zdanevich dismisses these opportunist writers as ‘khaltura’ writers — using a re-emerged Russian word designating hackwork, sloppiness, or simply kitsch art.
