The Russian avant-garde was a large, influential wave of
Neo-primitivism.[2][3][4][5] In Ukraine, many of the artists who were born, grew up or were active in what is now Belarus and Ukraine (including Kazimir Malevich, Aleksandra Ekster, Vladimir Tatlin, David Burliuk, Alexander Archipenko), are also classified in the Ukrainian avant-garde.[6]
The Russian avant-garde reached its creative and popular height in the period between the
Socialist Realism.[7]

Architects
Preserving Russian avant-garde architecture has become a real concern for historians, politicians and architects. In 2007,
MoMA in New York City, devoted an exhibition to Soviet avant-garde architecture in the postrevolutionary period, featuring photographs by Richard Pare.[8]
Composers
Many Russian composers that were interested in avant-garde music became members of the Association for Contemporary Music which was headed by Roslavets.
