Lenin vo tebe i vo mne. The Axiologies of “Taste” of a Cumbersome Corpse

The present proposal centers on the research conducted by Yuri Shavelnikov and Yuri Fesenko (1998) in their work “Lenin Inside You and Inside Me” (Lenin v tebe i vo mne). The underlying premise guiding this investigation posits that engaging with Lenin cake entails a narrative-like experience that triggers encoded perceptual paradigms facilitating evaluations of propriety (taste) and impropriety (disgust). From various viewpoints, the notions of degradation and decorum serve as tools to validate or modify established norms, thereby stimulating a discussion on an emerging ethical framework regarding aesthetic preferences.
