In this dynamic picture of socio-cultural transformations, I propose a working hypothesis of a repeated stratification of the field into an ‘official', an ‘unofficial', and a third ‘non-aligned' intelligentsia. This hypothesis is tested in reference to the ‘non-aligned' groups founded by the avant-garde artist and ideologue Timur Novikov (1958-2002). Three major shifts are described: from the politicized late-Brezhnevite early 1980s to the apolitical radicalism of Novikov's New Artists; from this anarchistic underground, through the perestroika era, to the playful ‘classicism' of the New Academy of Fine Arts in the 1990s; and from this postmodern international orientation to an arch-reactionary, neo-imperial posturing at the turn of the 2000s. Lastly, this ‘non-aligned' intelligentsia is suggested as a possible precedent, or, indeed, a model for understanding other historically significant avant-garde peripheries, which commonly seek to distinguish themselves from (often mutually-exclusive) centres.
