metadata.value: There is a connection between the formal theory and the history in which formalists were
  submerged, the history which they represented and the history which they reflected in their
  scholarly and literary works. This connection is not limited by the use of historical, biographical
  or artistic material for the illustration of theoretical ideas. Formalists described literature
  as the destruction of the habits of perception and interpretation formed by the everyday life.
  In this sense the mechanisms of literature and history turned out to be isomorphous with each
  other. The concept of defamiliarization formulated by V. Shklovsky becomes, then, not only a
  universal mechanism of art, but also an immanent law of history. While formalists tended to
  bare the device — the “literariness” of literature, the revolution was seen by them as “baring”
  the historical device of history itself. A special issue of the journal LEF published in 1924 under
  the title “Lenin’s Language” was dedicated to the study of the political language of the revolutionary
  leader. Participants of this special issue included representatives of OPOIAZ and the
  Moscow Linguistic Circle. Description of V. Lenin’s language as one which followed the laws
  of poetic language that had been “discovered by Formalists” was an official opportunity for
  them to extend their theory of literary evolution into the sphere of social history as a whole.
  The very concept of the “device” that bares the “completeness” of a literary work found its application
  in the critical analysis of ideology. In this manner, ideology is revealed as opposed to
  history in precisely the same manner as automatized practical language is opposed to poetic
  language. Lenin’s language is transformed into an agent of poetic, revolutionary disavowal of
  ideology, the durability of which relies on the ideological automatization of false consciousness
  and everyday habits of perception.
