Are there any homosexual, repressed overtones in the prose of Arkady Gaidar, what do you think? Chuk and Gek? Who knows what kind of brutality and violence was taking place in houses for besprizorniks, pioneer camps and Arbat side streets....
The most precise and fitting illustrations to his heroic juvenilia will be paintings by Aleksander Daineka, which exhibit, alongside with the cult of physical vigor and praise of Soviet social utopia, also a rather homoerotic aura.
I am pretty sure Gaidar and Daineka were friends... |
