Thanks for your patience during our recent outage at scalar.usc.edu. While Scalar content is loading normally now, saving is still slow, and Scalar's 'additional metadata' features have been disabled, which may interfere with features like timelines and maps that depend on metadata. This also means that saving a page or media item will remove its additional metadata. If this occurs, you can use the 'All versions' link at the bottom of the page to restore the earlier version. We are continuing to troubleshoot, and will provide further updates as needed. Note that this only affects Scalar projects at scalar.usc.edu, and not those hosted elsewhere.

Russian Language Lesson Vitaly Komar 1943 - Russia Alexander Melamine 1945 - Russia
"In February, 1981 A.D., in the city of Boston, Massachusetts, the Revolutionary Teachers Komar and Melamid headed a group of revolutionary students from the Massachusetts College of Art. Studies in the School of Revolution commenced with theoretical studies and concluded with the erection of a gallows. (The banner on the gallows was executed by revolutionary students. The Russian text, literally translated into English, means "Fuck your mother." The expression is figurative, and, in different contexts, can signify the most varied emotions, ranging from joyous surprise, to tormented despair, to thinly veiled hints of violence.) The reminder of the time the participants devoted to a revolutionary orgy, which has gone into history books as the infamous Boston Vodka Party. Though the gallows were destroyed by the police, the spirit of Revolution cannot be stopped! Long Live Boston - Cradle of World Revolution!
Comrades Komar & Melamid repeated the "Russian Language Lesson" at Greene Street Recording for this recording.
Lesson led by: Comrade Jamey Gambrell Students: Lynn Cassaniti, Sean Elwood, Marcos Gallango, Barbara Goldner, Grethe Knudson, Patricia Quill, Ann Schwank, Richard Schwartzwald, Mario Sotolongo"
