Paved With Good Intentions: Venichka's Journey of Redemption in Moskva-Petushki and its Relationship with Radishchev's Journey from St. Petersburg to Moscow, Milton's Paradise Lost, and Dante's Divine Comedy

Paved With Good Intentions: Venichka’s Journey of Redemption in Moskva-Petushki and its Relationship with Radishchev’s Journey from St. Petersburg to Moscow, Milton’s Paradise Lost, and Dante’s Divine Comedy.

Jill Martiniuk University of Virginia, Graduate School of Arts & Science, 2015 Dissertation Advisor: Edith Clowes

The goal of this dissertation is to examine the theme of redemption in Venedikt Erofeev’s 1969 poema Moskva-Petushki. Moskva-Petushki is a major underground work of the late Soviet postmodern period, which narrates the physical and spiritual journey of the protagonist from Moscow to the small factory town of Petushki on an electric train. Although Moskva-Petushki is usually viewed as a satire, this dissertation takes a new approach, viewing the poema as a journey of spiritual redemption. It examines the relationship between Moskva-Petushki (translated as Moscow to the End of the Line) and other major journeys of redemption—Radishchev’s Journey from St. Petersburg to Moscow, Milton’s Paradise Lost and Dante’s The Divine Comedy.

Understood as absolution from past sins, redemption opens new interpretative possibilities for Moskva-Petushki. Redemption is a valuable lens through which to interpret Moskva-Petushki because it allows the reader to question the motivations for Venichka’s journey to Petushki and what drives his desire to go there. This dissertation argues that Venichka attempts to reach Petushki in order to alleviate the grief he feels over his past sins. However, Venichka the protagonist does not have a single vision of redemption and this lack of vision may help to explain the failure of his previous twelve trips to bring him to Petushki as all previous trips have ended in a return to Moscow. Venichka is unable to find a path to redemption on his own, and this uncertainty causes him to stagger at the beginning of his thirteenth attempt. Since Venichka cannot find the correct path to his own redemption, and has met with continual failure on previous journeys, I contend that Erofeev engages with and parodies three pre-established paths to redemption to raise the issue of the possibility of redemption and what it might mean in soviet society. The overall goal of this dissertation is to examine how Erofeev responds to the theme of redemption in each work. It also seeks to show how the author Erofeev parodies the three previous paths to redemption in order to illustrate how these visions of redemption are not universally applicable to all who seek it, and offer a false hope to those who believe they have earned salvation.

Chapter 1 “From Moscow to Petushki: Redemption and Social Enlightenment in Venichka’s Journey” examines Erofeev’s response to Radishchev’s work and his use of parody to create a commentary on Russia’s journey to social enlightenment over the past two centuries. Radishchev’s vision of social enlightenment in A Journey from St. Petersburg to Moscow means moving towards a society where all Russians are equal before the law, and thoughts can be expressed free from censorship. For Erofeev, social enlightenment means understanding the efforts of previous Russian reformers, but rejecting them for their inaction and inability to move Russia forward. In particular, Erofeev focuses his attention on the images of the narod (the nation; the people) and the intelligentsia, in the form of his fellow passengers, to show the stagnation of social enlightenment and social redemption in its final form as the Soviet Union.

Chapter 2, “Rebel Angels: Seeking the Satanic in Moskva-Petushki,” has two goals: to show how Erofeev appropriates images from John Milton’s Paradise Lost, and to explain why Erofeev’s parody of Milton’s vision of redemption and longing for Paradise offers a sense of false hope to seekers who are uncertain of their own path. It posits that the essence of Venichka’s rebellion is metaphysical—he refuses to accept the Soviet atheist premise that the human spirit is merely a higher development of the physical world. He insists on his spiritual existence. This chapter compares Venichka to the figure of Satan, and considers the similarities between Venichka’s angels and the rebellious angels of Paradise Lost. Numerous times in the text Venichka appropriates the distinct characteristics of Milton’s Satan in his quest to regain Petushki. Erofeev’s creative response to Paradise Lost brings out the dual nature of Venichka’s personality and motivation for his journey. In his creative appropriation of Paradise Lost, Erofeev examines the desire to seek salvation while wanting to rebel against an established system.

Chapter 3, “Venichka and La Diritta Via: Exploring the Dantean Path to Redemption in Moskva-Petushki” argues for Erofeev’s creative response to Dante’s The Divine Comedy. Erofeev’s appropriation of themes and imagery creates a commentary on the idea of salvation and questions the possibility of redemption for people who seek it. Although Erofeev sends his protagonist on a journey that resembles Dante’s divinely inspired path through the use of portals and the motif of the guide, Erofeev’s protagonist meets with drastically different results than Dante’s. By examining Erofeev’s poema through the lens of The Divine Comedy, the reader must consider what it means to be redeemed in a society where redemption does not promise survival.

These three paths to redemption that Erofeev challenges in Moskva-Petushki are discussed in reverse chronological order because of the dialog that occurs between the four works rather than which author had the biggest impact on Erofeev’s own definition of redemption. By challenging these three metanarratives on redemption, Erofeev constructs his own concept of redemption from these three predecessors but comes to a completely different and quite original conclusion about the possibility of salvation in Soviet society.

Our Top Tips For Fundraising

Did you know that Jill’s Fundraising Journey doesn’t receive any sort of financial help from the Government or any other local schemes? Instead, we rely on the kindness of strangers and third-party donations to keep the charity going. It costs around £2,000 a month to keep the charity operating, offering free holidays and raising awareness, and to achieve this we need your help!  But we know fundraising can seem a bit daunting, especially if you’ve never done it before, so today we’re sharing our top tips to make the most of any fundraising event.

Use Your Skills

This is the step a lot of people get stuck on. They want to raise money, but they just don’t know how. The key? Do something you’re already good at! If you’re an amazing baker, hold a bake sale. If you’re a yoga instructor, run charity classes. Adrenaline junkie? Do a sponsored skydive (or insert preferred high-adrenaline sport here). Whatever your skill, use it for good by turning it into a fundraiser.

Let The Organisation Know

Whoever you’re raising money for, let them know about it! Charities love to know that people care about their cause enough to raise money for them, and we can give you help and support. You can fill in our registration form or just get in touch with us to let us know what amazing fundraising ideas you have!

Set Up A Fundraising Page

Now onto the fun part! Get yourself a fundraising page set up. JustGiving is our personal favourite but there are other services you can use to collect donations from the public. Online fundraising is the easiest and most secure way to do this, as well as protecting everyone involved. Setting up a JustGiving  page is quick and straightforward, but if you need help doing this then give us a shout, we’ll be happy to lend a hand.

Follow The Rules

Just like every other industry, fundraising has rules. They’re set by The Fundraising Regulator, which has both general and specific rules that all fundraisers have to follow to keep their events safe and legal. So whatever you’re doing, make sure that you’re following the rules at all times. If you’re not sure what they are, you can find the full rules here.

Send Invitations

Any fundraising event is a great opportunity to get your friends and family together while doing a good thing for the community. Create a Facebook event, make posters, send invitations – all of these are great ways to spread the word about all of the amazing things you have planned. If you contact us, we can even send you our logo to use on your materials.

Keep People Updates

Once you’ve invited people along, don’t forget to keep them updated. Modern life is incredibly busy, so it’s all too easy for your event to slip their minds. Share your progress on social media regularly, including when you hit a fundraising target, any events you’re doing, and any publicity you get along the way. All of this keeps your efforts in people’s minds and encourages people to continue giving.

Get Matched Funding

A great way to boost your fundraising is to see if your workplace (or anyone else who is helping you) offers a matched giving scheme. This is a common policy in corporates and means that whatever you raise by yourself, your company will match the amount – so you can double your total in seconds! If you’re able to use a matched giving scheme, get in touch with us so that we can make the arrangements.  

Take Photos

This is the bit most people forget to do. There’s so much else to manage in the run-up and on the day, that taking photos might not be at the top of your list. But any charity would love to see what you’re up to when your fundraising, and might even be able to help bolster your fundraising efforts by sharing your pictures and links. Don’t forget to tag us on social media!

You’ve worked so hard to put this fundraising event on, that now it’s time to relax and enjoy it! Take the time to celebrate everything you’ve achieved through this journey, and whatever your event or activity is, make sure you have the time to enjoy it.

There are a lot of different ways you can support Jill’s Fundraising Journey, and if you have an idea that could help us, we would love to hear from you. Just get in touch with one of our team members  to discuss your idea and make it a reality.
