On dynamics of culture in the Leningrad samizdat of 1970-1980-s

The article investigates the concept of logic of the cultural process, formed in samizdat in the 1970-1980-s. As a basis for its formation the concept of broken time, in which there is no continuity in change of events, is considered. It is deducted that there is a crisis of cultural identity of the underground, which is determined by the inability to objectify the 70-s as an epoch. Two types of comprehension of the dynamics of the cultural process by the samizdat are identified: the first suggested eliminating all the temporary and appeal to «eternal» values of culture, and the other in the most impossibility to overcome cultural provincialism of the era saw a chance for positive identity.
