Suggesting that 1930s Moscow can be (imperfectly) analogized as a new Rome in terms of how intellectuals and cultural producers in the Soviet capital city conceived their relationship as service to the universalizing aims of the highly-centralized Soviet system through the production of superior culture while simultaneously maintaining a cosmopolitan dialogue with cultural producers in other parts of the world, this work explores the role of Moscow as cultural metropole of the Soviet system. Clark (comparative literature and Slavic languages and literatures, Yale U.) situates her investigation into the production of Soviet culture in Moscow through the window of the activities of four "intermediaries" who represent the "cosmopolitan patriots" committed to the Soviet state, but pushing for more cosmpolitan culture: film and theater director Sergei Eisenstein; journalist and publisher Mikhail Koltsov; poet, novelist, and journalist Ilya Erenburg; and writer, photographer, and filmmaker Sergei Tretiakov.
