BETWEEN KANDINSKY AND KABAKOV. THE SECOND WAVE OF RUSSIAN ARTISTIC EMIGRATION

The problem of studying the second wave of Russian artistic emigration, the formation of which was caused by the events of the Second World War when hundreds of thousands of Soviet citizens were captured and deported to Germany or found themselves on the territories occupied by the troops of the Third Reich, is raised in the article. Afterwards, many of them went through European camps for displaced persons (DP) and managed to avoid forced deportation to the Soviet Union. The problem of the future research is formulated in the following paper: to determine the artists of the second wave of emigration, whose names, with a few exceptions, are unknown in Russia; to examine their lives and ways of their socio-cultural adaptation in their countries of residence; to get an idea about their work, locate, preserve and present their works to the audience.
