Russian Expressionism
Russian Expressionism
He started his literary activity when he was 14. In 1918 he moved to Moscow where he studied at the Socialist Academy in the political and legal department.
Sokolov became a Russian advocate of Expressionism. He visited the Poetry Studio, where Valery Bryusov, Andrei Bely and Vyacheslav Ivanov. He also became involved in the Literary section of the Moscow branch of Proletkult. In 1919 he joined the All-Russian Union of Poets. During the three years, from 1919 to 1921, he published nine pamphlets of poems and articles, including his Complete Works. Through these texts he formulated Expressionism as the "maximum of expressions" with a "dynamism of perception and thinking". In his Guide-Book to Expressionism he described expressionism as "a synthesis of all achievements in all arts." However the Russian Expressionist movement was short-lived.

In 1921 he took up military service as the head of the artistic department of the Political Secretariat of the Moscow Military District, in which role he linked labour and military gymnastics. This led to his work with the Central Institute of Labor. He applied François Delsarte's “harmonic gymnastics” creating a secularised version of “industrial gymnastics” similar to the “eukinetics” put forward by Rudolf Laban.
