Аннотация:The article deals with the strategy of increasing the efficiency of political language, which is based upon language policies in the 1920s–30s in several European countries, especially in Italy and Russia. These policies involved both scholars and avant-garde poets in the creation of particular programs to renew language. The analysis relies on the conception of performativity and focuses on particular conditions under which performative micropractices, such as speech acts, acts of writing, and multimodal acts, transform reality with language. Special programs of "language building" (in Russia) and "neo-purism" (in Italy)regulated the renewal of political language applying such avant-garde techniques as neologization, "defamiliarization", and "deautomatization". Nikolai Chuzhak’s conception of art-aslife-building became one of the basic ideas of the performative transformation of reality with the help of words in Soviet Russia. The article examines artistic and political projects of the 1920s such as Gabriele D’Annunzio’s The Free Republic of Fiume (1919–1921) and Nikolai Evreinov’s “Storming of the Winter Palace” (1920) in terms of performative change of reality with language and participation in the "art-as-life-building" experiment.
