AB  - Filippo Marinetti in his Beyond Communism (1920) called Futurism the official art of Soviet Russia. What is Futurist art in the viewpoint of Russia? Defining art as "a source of power and transformation," Russians believed that it is essential to arrange human society in a new way to create unified art.This paper deals with the viewpoints of Nikolai Kulbin (1868-1917), Arthur Lourie (1891-1966), and Mikhail Matyushin (1861-1934). Having joined the Futurism movement during a certain period, their art concepts found a reflection in the form of an essay that the current paper is based on.
