World War I had a profound effect on the world, one that ventured out of politics and into, science, education, ethics, and art. In a new book from the University of Nebraska Press is, Imagining the Unimaginable, by Aaron J. Cohen. This book takes a critical look at the effect this war had on the Russian culture.  The wartime culture superseded traditional artistic outlooks and “destabilized conventional patterns in cultural politics and aesthetics.” In and attempt to lure your interest (incase we have not already done so) this week’s Tuesday Trivia is going to test you on all facts Russia.
