Abstract
In this paper we analyze science-fiction in Russian literature and cinema of the 1910s–1920s. On the one hand, the works by Lev Kulešov, Vsevolod Pudovkin, Semеn Timošenko, Jakov Protazanov, Vladimir Gardin, Nikolaj Xodataev reveal a “futurological dimension” typical of Herbert Wells’ novels (approaching at the same time the “futurology” of Russian science-fiction writers – for example, Ivan Morskoj, Alexandr Bogdanov, Konstantin Ciolkovskij, etc.), and the anarchist scepticism in relation to the State. On the other hand, Lev Kulešov, Jakov Protazanov and Boris Barnet created at that time their own anarchist utopian cinema projects.
