Golem Soveticus: Prigov as Brecht and Warhol in One Persona places Dmitri Alexandrovich Prigov, one of the most significant poets and artists of the late-Soviet underground, into transnational historical context. Aleksandr Skidan, an award-winning Russian critic and poet, describes Prigov’s “mass production” of poetry and approach to ideology critique as elements of the global transformation of art practices in the late twentieth century.
