Summary

The significance of Russian culture for the Bloomsbury group and their role in its dissemination in Britain is the focus of this chapter. British fascination with Russian culture peaked in the 1910s and 1920s and, because this was precisely when members of the Bloomsbury group came to prominence in their respective fields, their interpretation of Russian culture had considerable influence. Particular attention is paid to Boris Anrep’s curation of the “Russian Section” for Roger Fry’s Second Post-Impressionist Exhibition (1912); the role of the Ballets Russes in Bloomsbury conceptions of “civilization”; the 1917 Club, founded by Oliver Strachey and Leonard Woolf; John Maynard Keynes’ and Leonard Woolf’s engagement in political debates about post-revolutionary Russia; and the significance of Russian literature to Virginia Woolf and the Hogarth Press.
