A Study of Horror

The complete collection of the works of Leonid Lipavsky (1904-1941), a writer, philosopher, a member of the "chinarei" circle and OBERIU, a friend and interlocutor of Daniil Kharms and Alexander Vvedensky, includes poetic studies, dream records, diary fragments, and treatises. A passionate classifier, Lipavsky categorized types of love, was interested in the essence of linguistic processes, suggesting that they lead "independent lives," tried to "explain the visible picture of the world," to cognize the world "unknown," and to define types of fear and horror. "Terrible" in Lipavsky is an inherent, objective, primordial feature of the subject, it is caused by everything connected with the loss of human individuality. The same themes are reflected in the discussions of the "chinarei" and the Aberiuts, entitled "Conversations"; the polylogues of Lipavsky, Druskin, Zabolotsky, Vvedensky, and Kharms trace the origins of the concepts that would later form the basis of each of their works. Lipavsky's texts are non-scientific; they are based on Einstein's theory of relativity, are in line with the works of Freud, Bergson, Spengler, Heidegger, and are based on philosophical and natural science concepts that have occupied the author all his life.
